Strega Liqueur, often referred to simply as “Strega,” is an Italian herbal liqueur produced in Benevento, Italy, since 1860. It is known for its bright yellow color and distinctive flavor profile, which is derived from a secret blend of around 70 herbs and spices. The name “Strega” means “witch” in Italian, reflecting the folklore and mystique surrounding the liqueur.
Strega is characterized by its complex and aromatic taste, featuring herbal, floral, and spicy notes with a hint of saffron. It has a slightly sweet and viscous texture, making it suitable for both sipping neat as a digestif or mixing in cocktails.
