Sardinian Myrtle Liqueur: Experience the intense jet-black color with violet and bright reflections of Sardinian Myrtle Liqueur. This delightful concoction offers a myriad of scents, from intense myrtle to hints of aromatic herbs, laurel, sage, and jammy plums. Upon tasting, these aromas blend harmoniously in an elegant embrace of myrtle that dominates the palate, intertwined with vegetal notes in a refined sweet-bitter dance leading to a satisfyingly dry finish rich in Mediterranean nuances.
- Traditional Sardinian Elixir: Crafted solely from myrtle berries or a combination of berries and leaves, this liqueur is deeply rooted in Sardinia’s folklore, particularly the red variant. Historical sources trace its origins back to the 19th-century popular tradition where families brewed myrtle through hydroalcoholic maceration of ripe berries using a blend of brandy and water.
- Culinary Affection: Post-maceration period involved adding sugar or honey to sweeten the extract for self-consumption. Recent regulations have recognized Sardinian Myrtle under the official list of Traditional Products since 1998. Silvio Carta’s commitment lies not in production costs but solely in quality.
- Historical Recipe: The timeless recipe entails premium ingredients in precise quantities coupled with patience and passion. “Silvio Carta Myrtle – Historical Recipe” embodies uniqueness that would be a shame not to savor. For optimal enjoyment, relish it chilled straight from bottles kept in the freezer.
