Our Origins
Our Story
It is 1986 and in Minori, a small village on the Amalfi Coast at the foot of the Lattari Mountains, a small artisan liqueur workshop is built. In 2002, it is taken over by the De Riso family, who have been trading citrus fruits for three generations.
Since 1927, the family has owned Costieragrumi, a company specialising in the selection and marketing of the “Amalfi Coast Lemon” I.G.P.
Thanks to the experience and passion the De Riso family has for the products of the divine Amalfi Coast, the idea of transforming them into liqueurs was born, with the collaboration of Sal De Riso (member of the Academy of Italian Master Pastry Chefs), who carefully oversees production, excluding colouring agents and preservatives.
