CAMPUS ALCHEMIST

Campus Alchemist is Russo 1899's anti-waste revolution: low-alcohol liqueurs, cordials, and bitters created from noble Campanian scraps, transformed into functional treasures thanks to UNISA science. Not waste, but precious resources: artichoke leaves, pomegranate peels, butcher's broom rhizomes, and Annurca apple pulp. A line that combines tradition, research, and sustainability, with the same organoleptic profile as products made from noble parts.

FROM NOBLE WASTE TO MEDITERRANEAN EXCELLENCE

A
story
of alchemy
and knowledge

Campus brings together the knowledge of scholars and the wisdom of country folk. An exchange of tools and of theoretical and practical skills.

Two different paths united for a single goal: respect for nature and for the magic of human creativity

A GAME-CHANGING RESEARCH PROJECT

THE I-PRO MED PROJECT
THE OBJECTIVE
Transforming what the market calls "waste" into precious resources: outer artichoke leaves, pomegranate peels and seeds, butcher's broom rhizomes, Annurca apple cores, San Marzano tomato peels.
THE RESULT
A line of spirits, cordials, and low-alcohol bitters unique in the world, where sustainability and quality are not in conflict, but amplify one another. A scientific enhancement of each active ingredient.
Hands stained with a flavor as ancient as the knowledge of a wisdom deep-rooted in our lands. Nature and Science fused into a single soul: Campus, the new line of natural liqueurs by Russo 1899

THE POMEGRANATE LINE

The Paestum pomegranate is a millennial symbol of Campania. In the Melagrana Line, every part of the fruit (peels, seeds, internal membranes) is utilized to create aperitifs, bitters, and functional wines rich in antioxidants with a unique fruity-bitter taste.

PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE

When science meets the art of distillation, extraordinary products are born. The first line of functional liqueurs
and cordials made from noble waste products of the Campania region, developed with the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Salerno

Circular Economy and Waste Upcycling

We recover raw materials that would otherwise be lost in the Campanian agricultural supply chain. They become the stars of cordials and functional bitters, reducing waste to zero and creating economic value for local producers

Research on Pomegranate, Artichoke, Fennel, and Butcher's Broom

The UNISA Department of Pharmacy has conducted in-depth phytochemical analyses on the active ingredients of each botanical.

University of Salerno collaboration

UNISA is not just a consultant: it is a co-creator of the line. Students and researchers from the Department of Pharmacy worked side by side with our master distillers
