- Myrtle berry liqueur

This is produced from a cold infusion of myrtle berries (Myrtus communis L.) in water and alcohol. It is presumed that this liqueur dates from the last century, when families produced it in small quantities, with the infusion of the berries in water and alcohol and the addition of honey or sugar to sweeten it.

 

There are two types: one red and the other white. Red mirto is obtained from purple red berries, while white mirto is made from yellowish white berries (a white variety of the same shrub), or from the leaves of the myrtle bush.
