From the manufacturer

From the hills of Piedmont to unexpectedly delight your urban experience

The Legend

According to the legend, its origins date back more than 300 years to the presence of Christian monks living in the hills of the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Their skills in fine food and drinks included the art of distilling, especially the use of the wild hazelnuts and other precious ingredients to create liquor recipes such as the one on which Frangelico is based today.

Its name is also part of the same local legend - an abbreviation of Fra’ Angelico, a hermit monk believed to have inhabited the magnificent Piedmont hills during the 18th century.

Beyond The Obvious

The richness of Frangelico is rooted in its origins.

Frangelico always surprises and uplifts. Elevate beyond the every day and find in Frangelico a sophisticated cocktail to heighten that moment with friends.

From branch to bottle, a rich Italian heritage is at the heart of this contemporary and versatile liqueur.

Tonda Gentile Hazelnuts

Tonda Gentile hazelnuts are known for being bigger, plumper and more uniform, with a skin that sheds easily, perfect for toasting without a bitter taste. Their sweet flavour is the reason they are so sought after by internationally known confectionery and worldwide popular gianduia chocolate creams.

Tonda Gentile hazelnuts, grown in the Langhe, an area of rural hills and picturesque villages in southern Piedmont, are also used to obtain the distillate for Frangelico.

How It Is Made


Hazelnuts Tonda Gentile hazelnuts are harvested, shelled, toasted and crushed. They are then infused in a solution of alcohol and water.	Distillation The hazelnut infusion is distilled to produce a natural hazelnut distillate.	Flavourings The hazelnut distillate is blended with extract and distillates from cocoa seeds, vanilla berries and roasted coffee, and other flavouring preparations to create the Frangelico concentrate.	Blending The concentrate is blended with pure alcohol, sugar and water to achieve the required bottling strength. It is then laid down in vats for 6-8 weeks to allow the blend to marry together and mellow. Finally, the Frangelico Liqueur is bottled, labelled and the rope is tied.
