Campari Nutrition Benefits and Facts

Nutritional summary

Campari contains carmine (a red pigment derived from insects), which has been documented to cause anaphylaxis (a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction) in sensitive individuals .
As a liqueur, this ingredient is characterized by its alcohol content and significant levels of added sugars, which contribute to its total energy density and glycemic impact .
Unlike many clear spirits, the complex flavor profile of this bitter aperitif is achieved through a blend of botanical infusions, though its primary nutritional contribution remains ethanol and carbohydrates.

Interesting fact

Until 2006, Campari's iconic red color was derived exclusively from crushed cochineal insects, a traditional dye known as carmine.
