Amara is named in part after Amaro (plural "Amari"), which means 'bitter' in Italian. These regional liqueurs originated in Italy, and are traditionally enjoyed neat or with just a bit of ice as a sipping digestivo. Tasting notes are bittersweet, aromatically complex, and as far as we are concerned; delicious and fascinating. Cin cin!

Amari
Amara is named in part after Amaro (plural "Amari"), which means 'bitter' in Italian. These regional liqueurs originated in Italy, and are traditionally enjoyed neat or with just a bit of ice as a sipping digestivo. Tasting notes are bittersweet, aromatically complex, and as far as we are concerned; delicious and fascinating. Cin cin!

About Us
The name Amara derives from the Ancient Amaranth plant, in Greek ‘Amáranthos’, which means ‘everlasting flower’. Amore in Italian, Amará in Spanish, and Amara in Arabic all refer to love or passion. Yet, Amara in Italian means bitter, conjuring some of the hallmarks of Italian cooking and drinking, where herbs, bitter greens, and digestivi are celebrated for their health benefits and healing botanical qualities. Bitter and sweet are often found together, and at the same time, and couldn't be more relevant to us now as we move forward with passion and purpose seeking beauty, balance, healing, health, sustainability, and love.
