Sol i Serena is a family-run distillery founded in 2019 with the mission of preserving and sharing the authentic tradition of Catalan ratafia. The project grew from a recipe handed down through generations of the Ple and Mestras family, treasured and perfected over time.

Their flagship product, Malhivern ratafia, has its roots in this family formula, awarded at festivals in Santa Coloma de Farners. Sol i Serena is more than a brand; it is a story of dedication, resilience, and love for the land.

La Sobirana is a workers’ cooperative founded in 2018 in Santa Coloma de Farners, the town known as the capital of ratafia. It was born from the desire to protect and renew the tradition of this emblematic Catalan liqueur in a modern, collective, and socially responsible way. Unlike conventional distilleries, La Sobirana is built on a cooperative model, where work and decisions are shared among its members, and profits are reinvested into the community and new projects.

Their most emblematic creation is La Penjada, the first cooperative ratafia, crafted with local ingredients and the shared passion of people united around the same idea. Beyond production, the cooperative organizes workshops, tastings, and cultural activities, creating a space for encounters, learning, and exchange. In this way, La Sobirana is not only making liqueurs but also building community—promoting sustainability, solidarity, and a deep love for local tradition. Today, La Sobirana stands as more than just a producer: it is a symbol of collective work, creativity, and loyalty to one of Catalonia’s most distinctive flavors.Expand
