ILLVA Saronno (Industria Lombarda Liquori Vini e Affini)

Owned by ILLVA Saronno (Reina family) · Saronno, Lombardy, Italy · Founded 1947

Disaronno traces to a 1525 recipe (a young woman named Maddalena gifting an apricot-kernel infusion to artist Bernardino Luini). Modern brand launched 1947. Often called 'amaretto' but contains no almonds — flavor is from apricot kernels (which contain similar amaretto compounds).
