“Abracadabra” is the Amaro alla Liquirizia produced by a young Calabrian company that has based its success on ancient family recipes. Vecchio Magazzino Doganale was born from the desire to create a range of labels inspired by old customs, with processing systems based on the best artisanal practices. The production process still takes place today according to the oldest traditional method. The fresh roots of the licorice plant are cut by hand. They are shredded to make them softer, then boiled, pressed, and reduced to small pieces. At this point, they are infused in a cereal alcohol for about three weeks, until reaching a licorice percentage of around 8%. At the end of the infusion period, raw cane sugar is added. The liqueur is bottled and rests for 50 days before being put on the market.
