The Distillery:
The story of Licóbidos is, above all, a family and local story. Our roots go back to the man who started it all, Abílio Ferreira de Carvalho who made the inspired decision to create the first recipe for sour cherry liqueur in a tavern in the small, picturesque village of Sanguinhal, in the municipality of Bombarral – the historic Ginjinha of Sanguinhal!
By the way, that tavern and grocery remain open two centuries later. The recipe for the liqueur also remains untouched. After all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
The company as we know it today was founded in 1992 with the purpose of streamlining the industrial and agricultural processes.
In 2011, we set about establishing new facilities and launched what would become a deep love affair for the whole of Portugal: our charming and ravishing Mariquinhas liqueur. The name is famous in Portugal and could hardly be more Portuguese. Let he who has never hummed the tune for Amália Rodrigues’ fado “A Casa da Mariquinhas” throw the first sour cherry!
The image features the colour red and a filigree heart in a tribute to family ties, ancestors, and the typical Portuguese “saudade”, or longing – for what has been and what is yet to come!
