Distilleria Caselli was established in 1860 thanks to FRANCESCO CASELLI. From the beginning it was mainly a drugstore that produced countless goods. The liqueurs at the time were produced in the rooms on ground floor and in the cellars of Palazzo Caselli in the old town centre of Sassuolo.
GENERATIONS
When, at the beginning of the twentieth-century, GALDINO CASELLI took-over the business, he turned it even more into a Distillery. As a liqueur connoisseur, he very skilfully created different types of spirits and liqueurs and the most famous became "Elisir all’anice stellato" (star anise Elixir), later named "Sassolino".
RECOGNITIONS
From the beginning of the twentieth-century, the "Sassolino Caselli" liqueur has received very important awards at International events.
