Angostura aromatic bitters are classic and impressively versatile, an ingredient in bars and kitchens. Expert expertise that has existed since 1824 laid the foundation for the creation of Angostura Orange Bitter. These innovations continue to drive the creativity and imagination of teams and chefs around the world.
The number one bitters brand (Drinks International Annual Brand Report 2011) ANGOSTURA HOUSE has been using a secret recipe for more than 200 years. Angostura is excellent for highlighting and enriching the aromas of bitter-tasting foods and drinks.
Doctor Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert came from Germany to Venezuela in 1820, where he helped Simon Bolívar's independence struggles as a doctor. In a few years, he developed an aromatic stomachic from the plants there, which improved the appetite and digestion of the soldiers. Angostura was named after the Venezuelan city where Dr. Siegert lived. Over time, this bitter was increasingly used to flavor food. The company that was created thanks to Siegert's work moved to the island of Trinidad at the turn of the century, where rum production became more and more important. Angostura bitters became known worldwide, and the company became the official supplier to the Spanish and British royal families. Despite its name, Angostura Bitters does not have a strong bitter taste, so it does not suppress the aromas of food and drinks, but highlights them, enriching them with a unique flavor. It can be used perfectly for cocktails, fruit juices, salads, coffees, ice creams, as well as for seasoning and marinating soups, sauces, and meats.
