Fun Fact

While many commercial amaretto liqueurs use peach pit extract or synthetic flavors, Zuidam exclusively uses natural almond oil. This gives the liqueur an authentic, rounded almond flavor that is better balanced and less artificial. Zuidam is one of the few Dutch producers that fully craft their liqueurs manually, including distillation, infusion, and bottling.
