Aurum is a brandy-based, orange-flavored liqueur that hails from Pescara. It is made with aged brandy and an orange infusion, while the distinctive orange color is also attained with the addition of saffron. The liqueur is aged before it is bottled.
Aurum is sweet and smooth, with a flavor and aroma dominated by orange notes. It was first created in 1925, and its name stems from Latin—
aurum stands for
gold, while
aurantium translates as
orange. Aurum is best served on the rocks, but it is also a great addition to desserts and ice cream.
