Aurum is a sweet orange-flavored Italian liqueur produced in

digestif.[4] It goes well with sweets, especially with parrozzo, another specialty of Pescara
. Other than as a drink, it is often used as a cake ingredient or as an addition to ice-cream.

Etymology

The name of this liqueur was chosen by Amedeo Pomilio, the founder of the Aurum factory, upon suggestion by the poet and writer Gabriele D'Annunzio, with a reference to the ancient Roman origins of the recipe. The name derives from the pun between the Latin words aurum, which means gold, and aurantium, which means orange (fruit).
