Producer history Toro

Production of liqueurs linked to the Toro name has deep roots in Tocco da Casauria: family tradition dates the first production to 1817, when Beniamino Toro began preparing an herb-based liqueur in his pharmacy. Today the company operates as Enrico Toro Distilleria Casauria SRL, continuing the historic production (centerba and derivatives) alongside a modern range of liqueurs and distillates.

Production philosophy

Combine local tradition of herb- and root-based recipes gathered from the Abruzzo mountains with modern technologies to ensure quality and safety. The company enhances local raw materials and historic recipes (centerba, gentian, ratafià) adapting them to contemporary markets.

Territory

Tocco da Casauria (province of Pescara), Abruzzo — surrounding mountain areas (Monte Morrone, Maiella/Gran Sasso) from which many medicinal herbs used in the recipes are collected.
