What is Frangelico made of?
According to Frangelico’s own About page, the base is Italian hazelnuts. They are harvested, shelled, toasted and crushed, then infused in a solution of alcohol and water. That infusion is distilled into a natural hazelnut distillate.
The distillate is combined with extracts and distillates of cocoa seeds, vanilla berries and roasted coffee to make a flavoring concentrate. Pure alcohol, sugar and water bring it to bottling strength. The blend then rests in vats for 6 to 8 weeks so the flavors mellow.
How strong is Frangelico?
The maker states 20% alc./vol. (40 proof).
Does Frangelico contain nuts?
Hazelnuts are a tree nut and they are the base of the liqueur, so treat it as containing nuts. The maker pages we opened carry no allergen statement, so people with a nut allergy should check the bottle label and ask a doctor.
Does it contain milk, caffeine or angelica root?
The pages we opened do not list milk or dairy, and do not mention herbs or angelica root: they refer only to other flavoring preparations. Coffee extracts are named as an ingredient, but the maker publishes no caffeine amount on those pages. For dairy, gluten or caffeine questions, check the label on your bottle.
Who was Fra Angelico?
The maker says that, according to legend, the recipe goes back over 300 years to monks in Piedmont, northern Italy. The name is said to be short for Fra’ Angelico, a hermit monk believed to have lived in the Piedmont hills in the 18th century. It treats this as legend, not documented history.
