The botanicals are macerated in grain alcohol to create an infusion and this is distilled in traditional swan neck alembic pot stills.
The liqueurs golden color comes from saffron which is added together with sugar syrup during blending. Liquore Strega is then matured for several months in wood prior to bottling.
‘Strega’ is Italian for ‘witch’, so named because witches are reputed to have held a coven every Saturday night on the banks of the River Sabato in Benevento, just north of Naples where they danced around a gigantic walnut tree. They are also said to have made a love potion, which would ensure that any couple drinking it would remain in love.
