Il Mallo Nocino Di Modena

Nocino is made by harvesting plump, unripe green walnuts and then macerating them for about a year in almost pure alcohol. The walnuts are then drained, pressed off and blended with a separate infusion of clove, coriander and true cinnamon, and sugar. Il Mallo uses about 20% less sugar than the maximum permitted by the rules for Nocino di Modena. After another nine months of aging the nocino is bottled. Drink this after dinner neat or pour over vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a delectable treat.
