Nocino is a typical liqueur from the Modena tradition, widespread throughout Italy, prepared at the beginning of summer and enjoyed throughout the winter. The main ingredient is the walnut, traditionally harvested on St. John’s Day, June 24th, or in early July when the walnuts are at their prime for making excellent homemade Nocino. For the preparation, whole, unripe, still green walnuts without the shell are used. They are first macerated in sugar and then infused in alcohol.
