The recipe for this herbal tonic quinine liqueur dates back to 1894 and was formulated by a Doctor Ernesto Baliva in Rome, Italy. It is less bitter and more approachable than many other 'china' (quinine) liqueurs and is made distinctive by iron citrate which adds delicious citrus notes.

'Ferro' would suggest that this liqueur will put iron, if not lead, in your pencil, and indeed this is a reference to its iron citrate content.

'China' is a contraction of Chinchona Chinchon, referring to extracts of bark from the cinchona tree, better known as quinquina or quinine.
