Casa Alloro Amaro Dalloro
Casa Allora, born in Palermo, Sicily, crafts small-batch, organic liqueurs celebrating slow, natural rhythms. Dalloro is their flagship - a mono-botanical amaro made solely from Sicilian bay laurel (alloro) leaves, hand-harvested and infused without industrial machinery, chemical additives, or colorants. Eco-friendly packaging underscores their respect for the land; around 25-30% ABV, it's a traditional digestivo harnessing laurel's renowned beneficial properties.
