Tasting Notes
Amaro di Rucola
Translates to amaro made with arugula
Arugula: The Heart of the Matter
See the Elephant Amaro distinguishes itself with its key ingredient: arugula. While most amari rely on a base of herbs and roots, See the Elephant takes a bold approach using arugula along with a few other family secret herbs and spices to make our amaro. The result is a flavor profile that's both familiar and surprising.
Locally Sourced
All ingredients, including the arugula are sourced within 30km of the distillery along the Cilento coast in southern Italy.

Where it Comes From
See the Elephant is produced in Agropoli, Italy along the Cilento Coast in Southern Italy, a region renowned for its natural beauty and rich culinary traditions. The region is in the broader region of Campania, which is where the majority of the lettuce used in Italy is grown. This is why See the Elephant utilizes arugula in the amaro - use what grows locally. The amaro is produced using a generations-old recipe, with the arugula sourced locally.
