Based on Italy's Fernet Branca, Fernet has been made in this country since 1927, when an Italian businessman named Lionello Stock opened a factory in Pilsen. The present-day company Stock Pilsen is keen to expand its market beyond the Czech Republic's borders, and has just started exporting its products to the United States. I spoke to sales director Radek Svoboda, and asked him if the company was concentrating on parts of the US with a relatively large Czech population, such as Chicago. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/bitter-spirit-fernet-goes-sale-united-states-8082412 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
