Frangelico (Italian: [franˈdʒɛliko]) is a brand of hazelnut and herb–flavored liqueur coloured with caramel coloring, which is produced in Canale, Italy.[1] It is 20% alcohol by volume (ABV) or 40 proof. Formerly, it was 24% ABV or 48 proof. When produced by the Barbaro family it was bottled at 28% ABV or 56 proof. The brand was created in 1978.[2]
According to the manufacturer, the name of the liqueur is based on a legend of a hermit monk named Fra Angelico who lived in the Piedmont region of Italy and "created unique recipes for liqueurs". The bottle itself most closely resembles the habit of a Franciscan friar.[3]
The brand was purchased by Gruppo Campari in 2010, having previously been owned by William Grant and C&C Group.[4]
