Meletti Amaro is a traditional Italian herbal liqueur that belongs to the category of amari, a broad class of bittersweet Italian digestive liqueurs intended to be consumed after a meal to aid digestion. It is produced by the Meletti family in the Marche region of Italy, specifically in the town of Ascoli Piceno. The Meletti family has been involved in the production of liqueurs since the company's establishment by Silvio Meletti in the late 19th century.

The recipe for Meletti Amaro is a closely guarded family secret, but it is known to be made from a blend of various herbs and botanicals. Some of the ingredients that might be used include anise, saffron (which gives the liqueur its distinctive golden color), cloves, and other aromatic herbs. These ingredients are macerated in a base spirit, and the mixture is then sweetened and aged before bottling.

Meletti Amaro is noted for its complex flavor profile, which includes notes of citrus, herbs, and spices, balanced by a gentle sweetness and a bitter finish. It is versatile in its use; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, used as a cocktail ingredient, or even added to coffee or desserts for a unique flavor twist.

The Meletti distillery also produces other liqueurs, including Anisetta, which is another of the company's well-known products, celebrated for its distinctive anise flavor. The Meletti brand has maintained its traditional production methods and recipes, contributing to the preservation of Italian liqueur-making heritage.
