Villa Massa blends age-old traditions with an exquisite ingredient, the highly prized almonds that grow in Sicily's unique soil. They are one of the symbols of Sicily, and were considered sacred by many peoples in ancient times.
Amaretto Villa Massa is born from the heat of the volcanoes, but also from the exceptional purity and richness of the Sicilian soil. The result of this unique and distinctive flavour is a deliciously smooth and creamy almond liqueur.
Unique almonds, unrivalled amaretto
Sicily's year-round warm weather and its highly fertile volcanic soil provide the ideal conditions for producing top quality almonds.
Sicilian almonds are characterised by their thick, woody shell, which protects the almond from rain, wind and cold, thus preserving the intense flavour and aroma of the nut.
