Nocino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nocino is a sticky dark brown liqueur from the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy. It is made from unripe green walnuts steeped in spirit. It has an aromatic but bittersweet flavor. It is 40% alcohol by volume, or 80 proof.
"Ordine del Nocino Modenese" is an association of Spilamberto, Province of Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy which, from 1978, promotes the traditional Nocino of Modena.
Nocino is produced by such companies as the Toschi Vignola s.r.l. company of Savignano sul Panaro, Province of Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
The sole commercial producer of nocino in North America is Monteverdi Spirits in Napa Valley, California. Their Nocino della Cristina was introduced in October 2005.
