The symbolic product of the Caffo Distillery is the Vecchio Amaro del Capo, a Calabrian herb liqueur, the result of an ancient Calabrian recipe then reworked and improved by the experience acquired by the four generations of the Caffo family. Vecchio Amaro del Capo contains the active ingredients of many beneficial herbs, flowers, fruits and roots of the generous land of Calabria, infused in the finest alcohol, to aid digestion and give a pleasant feeling of well-being. Among the 29 officinal herbs that make up the infusion we remember, for their tonic and digestive properties, some very common in Calabria such as bitter orange, sweet orange, licorice, mandarin, chamomile and juniper. Its gentle and aromatic taste is well suited to even the most delicate palates, not accustomed to "Amarissimi" and remember that as the best Calabrian tradition dictates, it should be drunk iced (at -20 ° C in the characteristic Capo glasses) to enhance the characteristics of the particular herbs that compose it. The Vecchio Amaro del Capo, today is among the most widespread and sold bitters in Italy and boasts the distinction of being the first amaro to be proposed frozen by the slogans launched by the company since the 70s when consumption was mainly summer and was distributed only in Calabria. In 2010 Vecchio Amaro del Capo was the only Italian amaro awarded a gold medal at the world competition in Brussels.
