Nocello's Story

During the Middle Ages it was customary, according to an ancient tradition, to plant a walnut tree when a daughter was born. When she was to be married, the walnut tree was cut down and with the wood, as a symbol of happiness and prosperity, her nuptial bed was made. From the nuts, then as today, a precious elixir was made; the NOCELLO, a characteristic liqueur which adorned the table of Princes and Kings.
