Frangelico

Behind this Italian liqueur lies a story that blends Piedmontese tradition with monastic legend. Its name is said to refer to Fra Angelico, a hermit monk credited with an ancient recipe based on wild hazelnuts and local botanicals—an origin that explains the bottle’s distinctive silhouette. Today, it is produced using the prized Tonda Gentile hazelnut, renowned for its finesse. The liqueur is slowly infused, then blended with natural extracts of cocoa, vanilla, and coffee. Decadently indulgent, it can be enjoyed over ice, pairs beautifully with coffee, or adds a luxurious touch to a wide range of cocktails. At the table, it shines alongside chocolate desserts, nut-based pastries, and offers a pleasantly surprising match with blue cheeses.
