In 1894, Dr. Ernesto Baliva, a visionary Roman physician, created a revolutionary recipe: Ferro China. His recommendation was simple yet powerful: a spoonful a day. His theory was that iron, diluted in alcohol, was absorbed more effectively by the body. Furthermore, the addition of China bark to the mixture gave it a special touch, considered a remedy against the dreaded malaria.

Ferro China Baliva became an extraordinary success, and Dr. Baliva turned to Virgilio Pallini to produce his tonic on a larger scale. This marked the beginning of a collaboration that has carried on the tradition of Ferro China Baliva for over a century.

The key ingredients of Ferro China are China bark and ammonium citrate iron, which give the product its characteristic red color. Today, Ferro China Baliva is a traditional digestif, beloved worldwide, and an incredibly versatile ingredient for cocktails.

Throughout its long history, Ferro China Baliva has been honored with eight gold medals. Every sip tells a story of tradition, passion, and flavor.
