A brief overview of Amaretto: origins, history and popular brands of amaretto.

All about Amaretto. 
Amaretto is best known as a semi-sweet almond flavored liqueur.
It is usually made in Italy, from which it originates.

Amaretto gets most of it's main taste from using apricot or almond pits or a combination of both.
Amaretto is a main ingredient in many classic cocktail drinks.

Origins
Amaretto is Italian for "a bit bitter."
Also, their is a romantic connotation to the name, amore and amare which translates as "love" in Italian.

Amaretto has a fascinating story of origin. Sources state that is 1525, a Saronno church commissioned artist Bernardino Luini, which was one of the master renassance artist Leonardo da Vinci's pupils, to paint their sanctuary with frescoes of the Madonna.

The young artist, needed a model for the Virgin Mary, and came across a young widowed innkeeper. The young lady of humble means became his model. Many stories also talk about how she become his lover also.  She wanted to give the young artist a gift, and out of humble means, she steeped apricot kernels with some brandy and presented this simple gift to the young artist.

Popular Amaretto Brands

Disaronno Originale
Disaronno is becoming very popular today. Surprisingly the Disaronno website states that their amaretto contains no almonds, and is nut-free. This interesting fact makes it is safe for people with nut allergies.

Alcohol Content:  (28% abv),
Disaronno claims its "originale" and "secret formula" is unchanged from the year 1525, and claims the Luini tale as its own particular history. Its production remains in Saronno.

The company descries the process as using "apricot kernel oil" with "absolute alcohol, burnt sugar, and the pure essence of seventeen selected herbs and fruits".

The amber liqueur is bottled in a distinctive rectangular glass in a decanter style. The glass bottle was designed by a craftsman from Murano, Italy.

Lazzaroni Amaretto
Lazzaroni Amaretto also has a long and interesting history.
Alcohol Content: (24% abv)

Made by Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli S.p.A., in Italy. The company also parades itself as the first such liqueur.  The Lazzaroni family also claims the tale of the young couple blessed by the bishop as the origin of their generations-guarded family recipe, which dates to 1718. The amaretto has been professionally made since 1851.
