Strega Alberti since 1860

Giuseppe Alberti began producing Liquore Strega in Benevento in 1860. The historic factory is still located in Benevento, and the Alberti family is now running the company in its sixth generation. Alongside liqueurs, traditional Italian confectionery is firmly part of the product range.

Strega aroma in confectionery

In products like Torrone Strega or Torroncini Strega, the characteristic flavor profile is introduced through natural aromas or a distillate of aromatic plants. Pan di Torrone, by contrast, actually contains Liquore Strega and therefore alcohol.
