Bresca Dorada Mirto di Sardegna 700ml
Product Details
Wild myrtle bushes grow all over the island of Sardinia. Their berries are fruity in flavor but also distinctively spicy, sometimes used in cooking in place of pepper. Mirto, the classic liqueur and digestivo from Sardinia, made from an infusion of myrtle berries in alcohol with sugar added. Bresca Dorada’s Mirto berries are harvested by hand in the inland parts of the island, mostly from wild plants with a small amount of cultivated fruit. The harvest takes place between November and January; the berries are macerated in pure grain alcohol for at least three months, to give a slow and complete extraction of aromatic substances. The only additions are sugar, honey (up to 10% of the sweetener, more would give too much of a honey flavor) and water (to reach the right proof for drinking).
Paolo Melis and Enrico Diana started Bresca Dorada in 1986 in the wild countryside of
Sardinia, near Muravera. They met on the mainland in a beekeeping course and decided this
was the spot to start their honey business. Always looking to reduce waste and use everything
the land provides for them, they started making homemade Mirto liqueur with their extra honey
and the plants on their property. This turned into an entire line of liqueurs based on local fruit
and herbs and a carbon neutral distillery where they also produce marmalades, salts,
mostardas and honey.
