It comes from an original recipe, jealously handed down by monks for generations, whose absolute protagonist is the bitter orange, a fruit cultivated for more than a millennium in Sicily. Aromatic, rich and persuasive, it is bitter with an authentic and genuine taste. It is great to taste straight or with ice, but it can also be used in modern mixology to make refined cocktails such as: Scoccia Spritz, White Negroni, Mexican Mule, Mojito Scoccia and Scoccia Margarita.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eAmaro Scoccia is the fruit of a long history. The cultivation of the bitter orange, Citrus Aurantium, was introduced to Sicily by the Arabs around the year 1000. It is a very ancient fruit from the Far East, perhaps born of a cross between pomelo and mandarin. In Sicily, it has found a perfect habitat, especially in the area of the Catania plain, on the slopes of Mount Etna, on soils of volcanic nature and in the mild Mediterranean climate. The custom of using bitter orange to make a bitter descends from the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003etraditions of the Basilian monks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e, present in these lands since the 9th century and later taken up by the Benedictine monasteries. The bitter is still made today according to the original recipe. The processing is simple. The fragrant peels of bitter oranges are steeped in order to extract all the scents, aromas, and essential oils characteristic of this precious fruit. The infusion is then enriched with a blend of local herbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eAmaro Scoccia is the sunny expression of the great Sicilian tradition.
