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.

Pallini is one of Rome's oldest and most important companies in the drink industry. The company is mostly known in Italy for Mistrà and fruit syrups. Established in 1875 by Nicola Pallini in Antrodoco, a small village in the center of Italy, it moved to Rome in the 1920's where it still has its production site and where there is now the only existing distillery. Among all its products, Mistrà, a dry anise liqueur, soon became known as an unbeatable way to "lace" espresso coffee.
Nowadays Pallini exports its product in over 35 countries worldwide and it is a leader with its Limoncello Pallini in the Duty Free segment and in the US market. Pallini also produces Sambuca 313, a wide range of liqueurs for professional and domestic pastry cooking, and imports a vast assortment of specialty products from all over the world .
