The Holzer family has been producing Fernet for over 100 years and is now in it's 4th generation with great grandson Raphael in charge of production. Oskar Holzer was the first in the business, as a partner with the famed Stock Fernet Company in Trieste (part of Northern Italy today) in the 1900's. During WWII, the Stock family was forced to leave their home and Oskar guided the company for many years until they could return. Oskar and his son eventually separated to begin their own brand, Holzer Original. Sadly, the family was forced to close the business 1980's and the stills laid dormant until 2016 when Raphael and his father revived the secret recipe. Raphael has spent his life working in bars and restaurants around the world and currently splits his time between Hong Kong and Austria. The whole family takes part in the production and sale of Holzer Original, from sourcing ingredients to hand labeling every bottle.
