Campari is an Italian bitter liqueur that is commonly used as an ingredient in cocktails, such as the Negroni. It has a bold and distinctive flavour profile, with notes of bitter orange, herbs, and spices. Campari is typically enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as part of a cocktail.
Food pairings:
- Bitter greens (e.g. arugula)
- Charcuterie boards
- Strong cheese (e.g. blue cheese)
- Bitter chocolate desserts
Note: The bitter flavour profile of Campari makes it a good match for bitter greens and strong flavours, particularly those with bold and savoury notes. The bitter orange notes complement the flavours in food, while the liqueur provides a balance to sweet and rich flavours.
