Nocino di Modena is a traditional liqueur from the province of Modena, made from green walnut husks that are infused in alcohol before the shell hardens. The result is a clear, dark brown liquid with an intense walnut aroma and a pleasing, persistent, aromatic flavor typical of unripe walnuts
Traditionally, Nocino is enjoyed neat and at room temperature as a digestive after meals. Its deep connection to local food culture has expanded its uses: served with ice in the summer, warm as a punch in winter, and even as an ingredient in cocktails or poured over ice cream for a sophisticated dessert
