Amaro Yerba — Italian amaro with yerba mate
Threshold
Some rituals begin after dark.
01The Moon
An ancient Guaraní legend tells of the goddesses Yací and Araí — the moon and the cloud. They came down to earth as young women, to admire its nature. In the heart of the forest, a hunter saved them from a jaguar. That night the goddesses appeared to him in a dream. In gratitude they entrusted him with a gift meant for all people:
yerba mate, a symbol of friendship and brotherhood.
02The raw material
Yerba Mate
Ilex paraguariensis
For centuries part of everyday life across Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and southern Brazil.
Leaves and palo.
We start from Argentine yerba mate with leaves and palo, the woody part of the plant. A light roasting brings out its character: herbal, toasted, faintly smoky.
