The story
The company was founded in 1946 by the Moccia family, who registered the ZABOV trademark for their zabaione-based liqueur. In the following years the range expanded to include dozens of references; ownership passed to the Ori family in the 1970s, who led commercial expansion and export activities. Over time ZABOV became the company's flagship product.
