Nocello

Nocello is an Italian amber-colored liqueur that is flavored with walnuts and hazelnuts. The drink is produced in the province of Modena of Emilia Romagna—a region well-known for the tradition of producing nut-flavored liqueurs. This aromatic and complex drink is subtly sweet with aromas and flavors that are reminiscent of nuts, vanilla, and chocolate, as well as a subtly bitter finish.

Interestingly, each bottle comes with a cork stopper that has a walnut imitation attached to it. Nocello can be enjoyed as a digestif, served neat or on the rocks, but it works well as an ingredient in coffee, cocktails, and mixed drinks. It can also be used as a flavoring in desserts.
