But the story goes like this: in the late 19th century, a traveling wine salesman from Porto, passing through Lousã, fell in love with the daughter of a pharmacist, and the courtship led to marriage. In the pharmacy, besides the usual medicines, "natural liqueurs" were sold, made from ancient formulas kept in secret.
Meanwhile, a law came into force prohibiting the attribution of medicinal properties to alcoholic beverages. Seizing the opportunity, the young man from the north set up the independent production of these nectars using the same artisanal methods, in a small factory.
The story of our Liqueur begins here, built on the pillars that remain today. Born from love, passion, and an originality that mixes pharmacies and traveling salesmen, it overflows from Portugal into every glass. In a century when the most delirious dreams began to take shape thanks to technological advances, this dream drink was born.
