The process of production is strictly guarded by the family Averna. It is just kown that the Amaro AVERNA is made of different herbs, roots, barks, berries and parings of lemon. The liqueur is produced without any add-ons of additivies, like essences or extracts.

All special production processes, which are important for the product quality, are still made by handcraft. Moreover the quality and purity of all ingredients of the recipe are carefully analysed in a laboratory before the production process is started. It is essential for the Averna family that no ingredient with chemical additives gets into the production process: just untreated ingredients are allowed. Only after an in-depth check of the raw materials, the ingredients are cut, hackled or pulverized in the mortar for developing their characteristic features, their taste and flavour.
