For generations, the Tutone family has zealously guarded this enigma, preserving a recipe that has its roots in distant 1813, noted on a precious piece of paper. The Tutone family managed a refreshment point that irresistibly attracted the Palermitan aristocracy, establishing itself as the most prestigious in the city until 1892. It was a privileged place where carriages could stop and patrons could enjoy a glass of water and anise, known by the nickname zammù. In 1892, the recipe underwent a reformulation process, including anethole, an oil extracted from star anise, directly imported from China and still the main focus of the preparation today. However, the complete formulation of the recipe has never been revealed. OUR STORY The origins of the Tutone company date back to 1813, when in Palermo in Piazza Fieravecchia, now Piazza Rivoluzione, the family grocery prepared the famous Anice Unico (Zammù) according to the secret recipe carefully guarded for six generations. In 1979, still with family capital, the S.p.A. was formed. Besides managing and implementing business policies aimed at expanding the range of distilled spirits and liqueurs, the family is directly involved in the preparation and marketing of the products.
