Anís del Mono is a registered brand of anisette that originates from the Spanish city of Badalone, in Catalonia. This anisette has been a staple in Spanish confectionery since the 19th century, making it a significant part of the country's culinary history.
The Anís del Mono factory was established in Badalone in 1870 by the Bosch y Grau brothers. Over the years, it has grown to become one of the most important producers of anisette in Spain. The factory still uses an artisanal production system, maintaining the traditional methods that were used over 150 years ago.
The Anís del Mono factory is home to Art Nouveau distillation rooms, archives, and the director's office, all of which hold significant historical importance. The period wooden furniture, designed by Badalone architect Joan Amigó i Barriga, adds to the historical charm of the factory. Recognizing its historical significance, the factory was declared a historical heritage site in 2007.
