This pale gold liqueur is distilled from a hazelnut infusion which is blended with various flavoring agents such as vanilla, chocolate, or coffee. The base concentrate is then combined with alcohol, sugar, and water before it is left to age. Frangelico is a well-balanced, sweet liqueur, characterized by its strong hazelnut, chocolate, and vanilla aromas.

The story of its origin is mainly associated with Christian monks who resided in Piedmont and were allegedly the first to produce hazelnut distillates. The original shape of the bottle, reminiscent of monks’ habit, and its name were also inspired by a similar legend of a hermit monk named Fra’ Angelico.

Nocino is an Italian liqueur that is prepared with a maceration of unripe green walnuts in a combination of alcohol and sugar, with the occasional addition of spices, predominantly cinnamon and cloves. The process results in a dark, almost syrupy drink, with a slightly bitter, strong walnut flavor.

Though it is found throughout the country and the Swiss Ticino canton, the liqueur is traditionally associated with Emilia-Romagna, where it is usually prepared on the Festa di San Giovanni, celebrated on June 24th. Nowadays, nocino is frequently factory produced, though the homemade varieties are still held in high regard.
