“Life is bitter.“ This is how the well-known Fernet Branca is marketed, a favorite drink for both young and old for many years. The Branca family, behind this renowned brand, has sold Fernet Branca since 1845. When it was originally produced in Milan decades ago, it was primarily intended as a medicine for stomach issues.
The formula consists of over 27 different herbs, spices, and plants, including gentian, myrrh, aloe, chamomile, and saffron. This gives Fernet Branca a very intense and spiced flavor. The characterful taste is complemented by other secret ingredients that the Branca family keeps closely guarded.
