The nuts stain strongly (dark brown), so I recommend to wear rubber gloves and to use an old cutting board.

The most expert lady should be the one to harvest the walnuts, during the night before San Giovanni (Saint John), celebrated June 24th. She will use only her hands to perform the task and leave the green walnuts in the open air until the morning when the preparation will start. The preparation will end at All Saints’ Eve (Halloween) and the nocino will be first served at Christmas. How to serve nocino Walnuts also contain the ellagitannin, pedunculagin.

The liqueur is produced by macerating green walnuts in alcohol, together with other botanicals. The macerate is then aged for four years, before it is diluted, flavored, sweetened, and colored with caramel.

Place the walnuts, the alcohol, the cinnamon, the slightly crushed nutmeg, the cloves and the two types of coffee beans inside a large jar (like this) and close it tightly. Leave everything to infuse for 40 days, preferably in a sunny and airy place, remembering to mix once a week without ever opening the jar; Shan B, Cai YZ, Sun M, Corke H.

[8] High statistically significant ( p<0.01) correlation coefficients between spectrophotometric assays have been observed (0.982–0.992). HPMC correlated significantly positively ( p<0.01) with spectrophotometric assays (0.935–0.976), whereas MRAP was in lower, but still strong positive correlation with FC, DPPH, FRAP and HPMC (0.814–0.846). High correlations obtained validates the application of recently developed MRAP assay on complex samples such as spirits analyzed in this study. Also, a strong relationship between FC and other assays supports previous assumptions that phenolics are the main contributors to the total AO activity.

A walnut is the edible seed of any tree of the genus Juglans (family Juglandaceae), particularly the Persian or English walnut, Juglans regia. The fruits of trees in the family Juglandaceae are often confused with drupes. [ clarification needed] Still, they are accessory fruit because the outer covering of the fruit is technically an involucre and thus not morphologically part of the carpel; this means it cannot be a drupe but is instead a drupe-like nut. Making it has become a ritual for me, and I’ve become an evangelist of the stuff. In the restaurant I like to have my crystal decanters full of nocino on a little pedestal in the bar, now and then when I talk to a table I like I bring out the bottle, tell them my story and we each have a few sips, it’s a great way to end a meal. My Nocino is too sweet/too strong

How to make:

Gather young green walnuts. The walnuts should have a smooth outer shell but not yet mature enough to be wrinkled and brown. Alamprese C, Pompei C, Scaramuzzi F.
