Underberg is produced by a family business in Germany and sold in these single-portion 20 ml bottles designed by Emil Underberg in 1949. The mini-bottle is protected by a straw paper sleeve with the Underberg label glued on it. All of its elements, including shape of the bottle, color, packaging and the Underberg name are trade marked and copyrighted and, according to wikipedia, the company has successfully defended its rights in over 1,200 court cases against other manufacturers.

Underberg is not a herbal liqueour, nor an amaro, nor a fernet. It is a digestif that contains 44 percent by volume premium-quality, kosher, alcohol and aromatic herbs from 43 countries. According to Underberg’s website, there is scientific proof that it stimulates the digestive system. Also in their web site they tell you how to taste it, how to open it and ask costumers for their trust regarding its secrete recipe and manufacturing process: “Your personal safety is our prime concern”, and the Underberg family guarantee to deliver products always with the same quality and effects.
