Production method
According to producers/suppliers, the still-unripe walnut husks are harvested in June, cut and macerated in alcohol. Reported immersion times vary between sources (indications from about 1 year up to 2 years). After infusion the mixture is separated from solids, pressed to extract the infusion, decanted/refined in stainless steel tanks and combined with water, sugar, alcohol and spices; a period of bottle maturation follows before commercialisation.
Ageing
Decantation/refinement in stainless steel tanks and bottle maturation (sources report about 12 months of bottle maturation; some descriptions also indicate longer overall maceration/infusion periods).
Producer history Terre di Romagna
No extended company history for a single entity called 'Terre di Romagna' is available online. Available information describes Nocino Terre di Romagna as a preparation rooted in Romagna peasant tradition, produced in collaboration with local growers (including Azienda Agricola San Martino and other custodians of the recipe such as Il Mallo di Maranello).
Production philosophy
Enhancing Romagna's food and drink tradition and controlling the supply chain for the walnut husks; offering products that respect traditional practices (organic version available for some references).
Territory
