The one and only amaro with Nizza Monferrato Cardoon, celebrated for its digestive, purifying and appetite-stimulating properties.
Nizza Monferrato Cardoon is a key ingredient in traditional Piedmontese cuisine. It is known as “Nizza Monferrato Hunchback Cardoon” and is protected under the Slow Food presidium. It belongs to the Cynara genus, in the Asteraceae family, and is grown in Nizza Monferrato, the surrounding municipal areas and in the sandy soils along the Belbo river. It is called “hunchback” because of the cultivation technique used: the plant is partially buried under the soil to help it survive the harsh winter. Then, as it tries to reach the light, the plant curves upwards, taking on its typical hunchback shape. Thanks to this treatment, the stem becomes white, is tenderer and has a delicate taste.
