Strega Baba Strega Liqueur

Strega Babas with Strega Liqueur are made with the finest fresh baked Babas and timeless Strega Liqueur.  Babas are mushroom shaped yeast cakes soaked in hard liqueur and sugar. Made with a similar dough to Brioche, these cakes are left to leaven three times before baking thus ensuring a light, fluffy, cloud-like constancy. The cakes are dried out for a day before being soaked. This extensive process means that Babas are rarely made at home but purchased from specialty stores. The importance of using quality pastry is its ability to soak up your favorite liqueur. Babas are commonly soaked in Rum.  Limoncello and other regional liqueurs are used as a special treat.

These Babas are soaked in Strega Liqueur made from over 70 herbs and spices. They are best served with lashings of cream or vanilla bean gelato. It is recommended that you turn the jar upside down before opening to ensure all cakes are fully covered in the liqueur.

Strega Alberti's roots stretch back to 1860 in Benevento.  The founder Giuseppe Alberti, together with his apothecarist father, created a recipe for a herb based liqueur. The name is drawn from the myth of the Witches of Benevento and the love potion legends: Strega Liqueur. In addition to the liqueur which made it famous, Strega Alberti today produces a wide range of specialty products, from liqueurs to confections, with the same care, quality and attention to detail for which they have always been known.
