About Angostura bitters

Angostura Bitters is a concentrated herbal alcoholic blend originating from Venezuela, where it was first crafted in 1824 by Dr. Johann Siegert. Traditionally used as a flavor enhancer in cocktails and culinary recipes, this aromatic bitters contains alcohol, water, gentian root, and a proprietary mix of herbs and spices, giving it its distinctive taste. With only a few drops typically added to drinks or dishes, the nutritional impact is negligible, delivering virtually no calories, fat, or sugar per serving. While Angostura Bitters is not a health food, its dense herbal profile provides a burst of flavor without reliance on excess salt or sugar. The alcohol content (44.7%) means it should be consumed sparingly. Though widely associated with cocktails like the Old Fashioned, it also finds uses in Caribbean and international cooking, contributing to the unique depth of savory dishes and desserts alike.
