In the 17th century, the Carmelites arrived in the mountains of the Desierto de las Palmas where they built a monastery, among them Fray Antonio de Jesús María, an outstanding scholar and connoisseur of aromatic herbs.
In the cellars of the Monastery some stills were installed and around 1896, the first bottles of the famous Licor Carmelitano were marketed. Due to poor communications, in 1912, they moved to Benicàssim and the current wineries and distilleries were founded.
During a visit to its centenary facilities, you can learn about the production process and taste this exquisite liqueur and other products, which combine ancient guidelines and artisan recipes with the most modern techniques.
