Coffee shop opened for 300 years in Florence

It’s difficult not to notice them, next to one other in the middle of Florence, defining the edge of Piazza della Repubblica.

Two desks with desk buddies, rivals and allies at the same time, mirror and flag of an increasingly heated Florence who lives at the counter from morning to late evening.

Alchermes Medici’s Liqueur

The Alchermes came to Italy thanks to the Spaniards, who had inherited the recipe from the Arabs. Many derive, erroneously, that its origins are Italian, more precisely that it had been born in Florence; It was here instead that Alchermes began to spread, during the regency of the doctors, who were great admirers. At the time, he was defined as “elixir of the long life” and was produced by the Florentine nuns of the Order of Santa Maria dei Servi, founded in 1233.

BuyFood Toscana’s agenda includes promoting economic sustainability, assisting customers in trusting the excellence in which they invest, and supporting the rural economy in a market rife with large-scale manufacturing and counterfeits of genuine products.

Whisky made in Florence

The art of distillation, as well as the prevalent European practice of distilling “aqua vitae,” spirit alcohol, mostly for therapeutic purposes, spread to Ireland and Scotland no later than the 15th century. Enrico Chioccioli Altonna, Master Distiller, finally exposes the big idea that has been fiercely concealed within the walls of the distillery between the hills of Tuscany for years. Their first whiskey will come in Florence soon, along with the new urban distillery.
