Sweet and intense, this liqueur delights even the most refined palates, presented in an elegant and captivating package. Originating from the Middle East, anise lends its aromatic essence. Star anise, notable for its star-shaped fruit and rich in aromatic compounds, is especially chosen for this liqueur. Its essential oil, a key ingredient in Sambuca Bottega, combines with alcohol, water, and sugar to form a dense, characterful liqueur. It's valued for both its appealing taste and exquisite aroma. Sambuca Bottega is best enjoyed neat, over ice, or with coffee as a traditional Italian "caffè corretto." It pairs wonderfully with desserts, especially those featuring chocolate or cream, enhancing the culinary experience.
