| 释义 |
Liquore Strega is an Italian herbal liqueur produced since 1860 by the S. A. Distilleria Liquore Strega in Benevento, Campania, Italy. Its yellow color comes from the presence of saffron. Strega is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) and among its approximately 70 herbal ingredients are mint and fennel. Strega is considered a digestif. Strega has a similar appearance to Galliano (though less vibrantly yellow). It is slightly sweet, semi-viscous, and has a bold, complex flavor with strong minty or coniferous notes. Strega is used for flavoring torta caprese, a type of cake. History{{main|Witches of Benevento}}Strega was developed in 1860 by the father–son team of Carmine Vincenzo Alberti and Giuseppe Alberti.[1] The company experienced growth until Giuseppe Alberti's death in 1894.[2] Alberti's four sons Ugo, Vincenzo, Francesco and Luigi took control. The company received a royal warrant of appointment to the Italian King. Strega became well known for its colourful and artistic advertising.[3] One poster was designed in 1906 by in the art nouveau style.[4] Strega is the Italian word for "witch" and since legends of witchcraft at Benevento date back to the time of the Lombard invasion, it was a natural choice of name for the liqueur. The liqueur is sometimes called "the witch" in the English-speaking world. Strega PrizeThe Premio Strega (Strega Prize), the most prestigious literary award in Italy today,{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} was founded in 1947 by Guido Alberti, then owner of the company, together with his friends the writer Maria Bellonci and her husband Goffredo. AwardsThe San Francisco World Spirits Competition, one of several international spirit ratings organizations, has evaluated Strega liqueur on three occasions since 2005. The ratings organization gave the spirit gold medals in 2005 and 2011 and a silver medal in 2008.[5] References in media
