San Benedetto Cedrata soft drink

San Benedetto Cedrata is a popular citrus-flavored carbonated soft drink, specifically made from the citron fruit. It is produced by Acqua Minerale San Benedetto S.p.A., an iconic Italian beverage company founded in 1956.

The brand has a rich history starting with the bottling of mineral water from the San Benedetto and Guizza springs in Scorzè, Venice. Over the decades, it expanded its portfolio to include iced teas, fruit juices, and traditional Italian sodas like Cedrata. San Benedetto is known for being the first Italian company to introduce PET bottles for mineral water, showcasing its innovation in the beverage industry.

Today, San Benedetto remains a privately held Italian company, owned primarily by the Zoppas family. It is one of the leading beverage producers in Italy and has a strong international presence, though its primary manufacturing and sourcing remains rooted in the Italian territory.
