Amaro Lucano
Amaro Lucano is an Italian herbal liqueur belonging to the amaro category. It is produced by Amaro Lucano S.p.A., a family-owned company based in Pisticci, Basilicata, Italy. The adjective "Lucano" derives from Lucania, another name by which Basilicata is known.
The recipe was created in 1894 by Pasquale Vena, a pastry chef who blended more than 30 herbs. The secret recipe has been passed from generation to generation in the Vena family. In 1900, Amaro Lucano gained fame throughout the Kingdom of Italy when the Vena family became the official supplier to the House of Savoy, whose coat of arms appears on the label.
After a period of recession during World War II, in 1950 the workshop became an industrial enterprise under the management of Vena's sons, Leonardo and Giuseppe. Subsequently, in 1965, a new factory was opened in the frazione (hamlet) of Pisticci Scalo.[citation needed]
In the 1970s, the Vena family also began producing other alcohol-based drinks under the "Lucano" brand name, including sambuca, limoncello and coffee varieties, as well as liqueur-filled chocolates.[citation needed]
The process of preparing Amaro Lucano is divided into seven steps: the selection, the infusion, the processing, the secret, the control, the mixture, and the bottling.
The herbs needed for the mixture come from different areas of the world. They are dried naturally, crushed and mixed together. Among the herbs used, there are:[citation needed]
The mixture is steeped in solutions of pure alcohol and water; it then goes through a hot infusion process in thermo-controlled baths (55°/60 °C) overnight.
The mixture undergoes hot pressing to obtain an infusion.
