‘Rosolio’ is an infusion of honey, rose oil and other spices in alcohol.

‘Rosolio Marathia’ was born as a digestive spirit, but can also be an aperitif. It is a refreshing drink with tonic and crushed ice. This original liqueur is obtained with an old recipe.

Lemon peels are left in alcohol for about 30 days. Lemons are hand peeled to avoid adding part of the white, bitter, layer.

In some local shops orange Rosolio can also be found.

The ‘Alloro Maratea’ is a digestive spirit obtained with the infusion of laurel leaves, from plants grown in Maratea without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, in 95 degrees alcohol.

Also cream liqueurs are quite famous: there are the ‘limoncello’ cream (liqueur made with lemons) and the cream of orange peels in infusion.

‘Fragolino’ is a traditional liqueur made of an infusion of fruit in alcohol. It is prepared according to the popular recipe, passed on from generation to generation, only using organic fruit from the area.

Typical products of this area are also a walnut liqueur and a citron liqueur.
