Faccia Brutto Carciofo

Made from a blend of warm spices, bitter roots, citrus and artichokes from California's central coast, this Carciofo will seduce even the prickliest of people! 

Faccia Brutto's love for all things bitter naturally led them to highlight the artichoke in all its glory. Their Carciofo is made from a blend of 19 herbs and botanicals with neutral grain spirit from Buffalo, NY. They take fresh artichokes from the Central Valley in California and macerate them for 10 days alongside warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, and dandelion root. Lemon peel and bay leaf round out the blend that’s sweetened with organic cane sugar.
