<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span class="tm7">Frangelico</span></strong> <span class="tm8"> is a brand of liquor that is produced in Canale, Italy. It was launched in 1978, gaining attention mainly because of its unusual packaging: the bottle was designed to look like a friar, even with the rope tied at the waist, and the lid imitating a bald. It is marketed basically in two sizes: the 750ml and the 375ml packaging.</span> <span class="tm8">The origin of Frangelico dates back more than 300 years, from the existence of the first Christian monks living in the mountains of northern Italy. According to the Italian manufacturer, the name of the liqueur is based on the legend of a hermit named Frei Angelico, who "created unusual recipes for liqueurs." The bottle, however, recalls the habit of a Franciscan friar; while the "namesake" of liquor, the famous painter Fra Angelico, was domonic, whose robes would have been white and without the rope.</span><strong><span class="tm7"></span></strong></h3><p></p><p></p>

<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span class="tm7"><strong>Fernet</strong> was created in 1845 by Bernardino Branca in Milan - Italy. The preparation was stirred with an iron bar that was brilliant with the use, possibly by the action of substance contained in the vegetables used; hence the name of the<strong> Fernet</strong> drink in the Milanese dialect of Italian means clean iron). </span>The use of <strong>Fernet</strong> became popular from the cholera epidemic of 1865, which adid in Mediterranean Europe, because it is anti-choleric. Despite being invented in Italy <strong>Fernet is</strong> practically seen as an Argentine drink, mainly due to the great immigration of Italians to that country and because it is there the most consumer country in the world of drink. The Italians<strong> use Fernet</strong> the mixed in the café.</h3> <p></p> <p></p>

<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span class="tm6">The company J. Carranca Redondo Lda producer of Licor Beirão, was born in 1940, but the history of this liquor is much older. Still without the nickname Beirão, the liquor was already manufactured, in the village of Lousã, in a pharmacy, more than a century ago.</span></strong></h3><h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span class="tm7">But the story is told like this: at the end of the 19th century, a traveling wine salesman from Porto, passing through Lousã, fell in love with the daughter of a pharmacist, ending their relationship in marriage. In the pharmacy, in addition to the usual medicines, "natural liquors" were marketed according to old formulas kept secret. However, a law prohibiting the allocation of medicinal properties to alcoholic beverages enters into force. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the young man from the north carries out the autonomization of the production of nectars, by the same artisanal processes, in a small manufacture. But the name of Licor Beirão does not appear by chance. In 1929 a Beirão Congress was held in Castelo Branco and the liquor was named after the meeting. It is the difficulties brought by World War II that cause the factory to be sold in 1940 to a young native of Lousã, José Carranca Redondo, who worked there for some time. With just over twenty years and in the meantime married, decides to invest his savings by buying the house and the secret, dedicating body and soul to the liquor that came to be manufactured by the woman. Since then sales have continued to grow, becoming, at present, a very successful liqueur.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span class="tm7">Currently, Licor Beirão is manufactured in Quinta do Meiral in Lousã (Coimbra district, Portugal). With more than 12 hectares, part of the plants and aromatic seeds used in their manufacture are produced here, thus allowing greater quality control. The remaining ingredients are imported from as far away as India, Sri Lanka, Brazil and Turkey, among others.</span></h3><p></p><p></p>
