The history of the Angostura brand began in 1824, when its founder, Dr. Johann Siegert who was born in Germany but lived in Angostura, Venezuela, where he perfected the production of aromatic bitters for medicinal purposes.

In 1906 the labels stopped showing the word "cure" and lower limits of alcohol were established and although the bitter business took a lethal hit, Angostura aromatic bitters remained strong as their use had changed.

From 1955 to the present day, the company was named the only one with the credentials to present itself as a manufacturer of Angostura aromatic bitters to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
