Eboli, 26.05.2026 — Amaro Don Carlo, the artisan herb liqueur from Eboli, continues to be a protagonist on the national scene and at international tasting panels, with its trophy cabinet — already worthy of a top scorer — enriched by prestigious new accolades.
Last March, at the 17th edition of the Concours International de Lyon, came the Silver Medal recognising the quality and care with which this product is crafted by Carlo Gargiulo and Angela Caliendo. Lyon’s event is a major occasion, bringing together 1,000 tasters from around the world in the French gastronomic capital to evaluate outstanding wines, beers and liqueurs.
A Silver Medal was also awarded at the London Tasting Awards 2026 in April, a competition showcasing the finest examples across its categories, in which this year samples from 30 countries were tasted and assessed by a panel of 66 international experts.
Equally impressive are the successes recently achieved by Amaro Don Carlo within Italy’s own borders, all united by a precious fil rouge leading back to the creative, eclectic and visionary Angela Caliendo, who perfected her formula in 1994.
Engaged in the world of packaging, window dressing and cake design for over thirty years, Angela has received two important recognitions from the Associazione Vetrinisti & Visual Europei, chaired by Cav. Giuseppe Marco Pasquarella: in April, at the Sala del Parlamentino of the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy in Rome, the prize of the National Competition “Il Made in Italy in Vetrina”, aimed at highlighting Italian excellence through creativity; and in May, in the magnificent setting of the Maschio Angioino in Naples, the award “The Excellences of Made in Italy in the South”.
This series of accolades closes with the Italy Food Awards 2026 on 23 May, at which the Special Mention was awarded to Gargiulo Coloniali for Amaro Don Carlo during the awards gala held at the Casina di Macchia Madama in Rome.
Made from walnut husk (60%) and a blend of selected herbs and spices, Amaro Don Carlo is an elegant and refined after-dinner drink, a meditation liqueur and a precious ally in mixology and in the kitchen for the preparation of fine dining dishes. The many positive recognitions gathered both nationally and internationally bear witness to its quality and identity, as well as its capacity to export the image and value of Made in Italy around the world.
