Reading the bitterness
Córdoba in central Argentina is repeatedly mentioned in academic and news sources as one setting for an account of the origin of Fernet con coca, a combination of Fernet and cola. A 2018 thesis states that it established the connection with the province’s extensive Italian immigrant community and how the combination became established there. A 2020 article states 『Córdoba capital, ciudad líder en consumo de Fernet en la Argentina（コルドバ市はアルゼンチンにおけるフェルネット消費のリード都市）』 (in translation: "Córdoba city, the leading city for Fernet consumption in Argentina"), but provides no numerical support for this statement.
Concrete figures indicating concentrated consumption in Córdoba Province have also been reported. A 2015 article, citing Kantar Worldpanel data from 2013, reports that Córdoba and neighboring cities account for about a third of Fernet consumption in Argentina, while the province accounts for only about 8% of the country’s population. The description emphasizes the marked disparity between consumption and population share, but it comes through a news article; the primary Kantar Worldpanel report itself was not checked in this research.
