The company J. Carranca Redondo, Lda, producer of Licor Beir\u00e3o, was born in 1940, but the history of this liqueur goes back much further. Even without the nickname Beir\u00e3o, the liqueur had already been manufactured in the town of Lous\u00e3, in a pharmacy, for over a century.<\/p>\n
But the story goes like this: at the end of the 19th century, a Port wine traveling salesman, passing through Lous\u00e3, fell in love with a pharmacist's daughter, ending their relationship in marriage. In the pharmacy, in addition to the usual medicines, \u201cnatural liqueurs\u201d were sold according to ancient formulas kept secret. Meanwhile, a law has come into force that prohibits the attribution of medicinal properties to alcoholic beverages. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the young man from the north carries out the autonomous production of nectars, using the same artisanal processes, in a small factory.<\/p>\n
But the name of Licor Beir\u00e3o does not appear by chance. In 1929, a Beir\u00e3o Congress was held in Castelo Branco and the liqueur was named in honor of the meeting. It was the difficulties brought about by the Second World War that led to the factory being sold, in 1940, to a young man from Lous\u00e3, Jos\u00e9 Carranca Redondo, who worked there for some time. A little over twenty years old and now married, he decides to invest his savings in buying the house and the secret, dedicating himself body and soul to the liquor that began to be manufactured by his wife. Since then, sales have continued to grow, currently becoming a highly successful liqueur.<\/p>\n
Currently, Licor Beir\u00e3o is manufactured at Quinta do Meiral in Lous\u00e3 (district of Coimbra, Portugal). With more than 12 hectares, part of the plants and aromatic seeds used in its manufacture are produced here, thus allowing greater quality control. The remaining ingredients are imported from places as far away as India, Sri Lanka, Brazil and Turkey, among others.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Liqueur of our hearts!<\/p>\n
What do a pharmacy, a traveling salesman selling Port wine, the daughter of a pharmacist from Lous\u00e3 and Licor de Portugal have in common? They have everything. They have an unparalleled liquor. It is in fact a story that could be used for the script of a film. In 1940, J. Carranca Redondo Lda. was born, the company that produces Licor Beir\u00e3o. But long before that, he was already here. This is why nowadays, sitting at a table or standing in a bar, there is always someone asking for Licor Beir\u00e3o.<\/p>\n
This is why Licor de Portugal is.<\/p>\n
It's for all this and much more.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6035,"template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"iawp_total_views":49},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[161],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-14103","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-licores","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/14103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=14103"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=14103"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bracaravinum.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=14103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
