The company operates under two primary brands: "Lazzaroni" for its esteemed liqueurs, and "Chiostro di Saronno" for its delectable biscuits, panettoni, and other baked goods.
The company's headquarters are situated in the historic "Chiostro di Saronno," an ancient Franciscan cloister located in the heart of Saronno. This site is not only a symbol of the company's heritage but also the place where cherished recipes are preserved and crafted with passion.
