Description
Pallini Ferrochina Baliva liqueur is based on an ancient recipe created in 1894 by Dr. Baliva, who had the intuition to combine the two main ingredients, cinchona and iron, to create this distillate with a unique and distinctive flavor. Ernesto Baliva was a doctor at the Roman Hospitals who was interested in alternative treatments, and for this reason, once he had obtained this liqueur, he began supplying it to pharmacies in the Lazio region. He recommended taking a teaspoon a day because the dilution of the iron in the alcohol facilitated its absorption by the body. Furthermore, the presence of cinchona bark made this distillate an effective remedy against one of the most feared diseases of the time: malaria. Large-scale production began when the liqueur had already become a successful product and Dr. Baliva began producing it in the Pallini factory. Today we have a liqueur with a strong, bold flavor that can be enjoyed on any occasion. It can be considered both a tonic drink to enjoy with friends during a relaxing moment or as a digestive at the end of a sumptuous meal. To enjoy it effectively, it is recommended to drink it cold, where the strong, bitter taste is mitigated on the palate by the spicy aromas of cinchona bark.
