Your English is very excellent. It is a joy to listen to your explanations. The occasional merging of languages is a thing of beauty and something to be appreciated. No meaning is lost but instead layers of interest is added. You not only speak with words but with your heart and hands culminating in the very wonderful things you create to be enjoyed by others. ❤️
Thanks for this beautiful comment and your support ☺️

Spectacular sunset, at the end, such a great way to taste Mirto. Incredible😍🤩
Thanks 🤩
It's good to see your channel growing:. BRAVO!
Thanks 🥳 please share the videos 🤩
The color is absolutely gorgeous -- if it tastes as good as it looks, it's something special indeed.
Yes very good
At first it’s like drinking cough medicine but then before long you can’t stop drinking it. Keep it in the freezer and drink it cold
Wowww!! You live in paradise. Sooooo beautiful/spectacular 👌🏻👌🏻
🤩 thanks
Hey, I found your channel randomly and I just wanna say I enjoy your videos. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks 😊 please subscribe and share the videos with your friends and family
I enjoyed this very much. Grazie
Grazie 🤩
I recently went to Europe with my whole family and I tried a bottle of Invitti Grappa al Mirtillo in a restaurant in Milan my mind was blown away! They served it in a very nice small glass with a round bottom, I just got back to California and I will learn how to make it! Thank you for sharing this video! Much love to Italy 🇮🇹 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️ From me Tamara 🇲🇽
Spectacular 🥳 keep us updated and send me some pictures on instagram
spectacular demonstration!
Thanks 😉👍🏼
grazie! Io seguo il tuo canale e ho imparato da fare tante cose. Io ho vissuto in Italia tanto tempo fa, e grazie al tuo canale adesso riesco ad assagiare le cose che ho provato 20 anni fa quando ero studente...mancha solo la spiaggia e Vasco Rossi ....o anche no ehehhehee saluti di Serbia
Grazie Ivan per questo bel commento
Un abbraccio dalla Puglia 😎
Yeah! Thank you! Mirto is my favorite - we grew a bush in Southern California but is just not the same. When we were young we would drink mirto and Red Bull.
😂 🚀and after you were flying
It is definitly thyme!
Love your videos and I want to make all of your recipes. Every one of them looks so delicious!
Thanks for the information and for the support 👍🏼 please share the videos 😉
Keep up the great work!
Thanks 🤩
Thanks for another great liqueur demo. Myrtles are my best loved berries and I used to look everywhere to find them in the wild in France with no luck. Now I learn from you that you find them mostly in the Mediterranean region. I have been actually looking in the wrong place!! Thanks for your tip. Next time I will know where to look.
😉👍🏼 let us when you find it
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Sure. Thank you.
🤩
Magnificent as well as spectacular! Magnifico? Your English is far more beautiful than my Italian to be sure.
Yes 👍🏼 magnifico is correct 😉 thanks
Super super super gut!!!
Thanks 😊
why you're so underrated, you're the best!
😩 I don’t know 😉 please share the videos
Fantastico dear friend 🤘😝🤘
Grazie ☺️
Ahhhh, wild harvest berries herbs etc from the Mediterranean...that is Life!!
😂👍🏼 yes
Like always very very spectacular👍
Thanks 😊
I know bruschetta is an easy recipe - but would you be able to do an explanation (what Italians would consider the true version) of the different types of bruschetta toppings? Please :-)
Maybe in the future 😉👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato: Grazie mille
😉
wild thyme I love the aroma of wild thyme collect all the time in northern Greece
Spectacular 👍🏼
I have mirto plants at my workplace. I discovered them yesterday. I’m excited to try this recipe. I didn’t know they were edible. Grazie mille!
Keep us updated 😉👍🏼
I let the berries soak for a long time. I forgot about them, if I am honest. I made a simple syrup today with honey and water. I strained the alcohol and simmered the berries in the simple syrup. Strained those and save them like you did, but I made too much simple syrup so I poured the extra into the jar of berries. Can’t wait to taste it with the wine and pear! I want to try it with pork too. Do you cook it with the pork or add the berries after you cook it?
I tasted the mixture of liquid and simple syrup and it’s already amazing. Such a unique flavor and aroma! My house smelled incredible. I can’t wait to taste it when it’s ready.
I wish my Nonno and Nonna were still alive, they would be proud of me and Nonno especially would have loved both drinking it and cooking with the berries. Thank you for helping me to make something new and honor my grandparents. They always cooked with what they grew and what they found. ❤🎉😊
Spectacular 🥳
Yes 👍🏼 you can use it when you cook 😉 but not exaggerate with quantity 🙂 you want test the meat too
Been waiting for this! Been to Sardinia a few times, and fell in love with mirto. A couple of months ago I bought dried (but picked recently) berries on eBay, and made a couple of batches. Fresh berries are probably best, but the dried ones turned out really well too. Personally I prefer less sugar than the commercial ones I tried..
(I got my berries from Greece by the way)
Spectacular 👌🏼 dried ones will be perfect for this recipe. Yes the commercial one have more sugar
I'm going to try and find dried berries, from Sardinia (if possible). How much did you use and what tweaks (if any) did you have to make in the procedure due to using dried instead of fresh??
@@Victoria-uz5rv One of the main tweaks were the alcohol: In Norway, the max allowed strength is 60%, so I had to compensate for that. Also, the exact amount of dried vs fresh has to be observed as well.
I did several batches, the best one was (using decilitres as unit):
- 7 DL 60% + 170g dried berries, macerated for about 6 weeks
- strain, and add 5 DL water + 1 DL sugar (or, as preferred).
This is a good base, tweaked as you prefer 😊
🥳👍🏼 spectacular 👏🏼🤩 thanks for sharing your recipe
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato good luck, let us know how it turns out!
Nice presentation! I can smell the berries here :-)
Thanks 🤪
Looks interesting will try it when I visit Italy love from India
Keep us updated with your trip
Just here to listen to your Italian accent !!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I absolutely love your accent, the way you speak english sounds amazing. I also need to find a source for myrlte berries in the US so I can make this, looks delicious.
Thanks for your kindness ☺️ keep us updated 👍🏼
Done something similar with juniper berries with my dad, looks great
Yes 👍🏼 good 😋

Good drink
Thanks ☺️
Amazing my friend, mama mia..
Thanks 🤩
Although myrtle plant is quite common in our country, it is the first time I see this drink.
I'll try it at the first opportunity, the color is amazing.
But I'm sure I'll throw a cinnamon bark and a few cloves in the myrtle berry and alcohol mix. then it will be "spectacular" :)
Try with only myrtle and after with cinnamon and cloves 😉 to check the difference
That plant it is part of the thyme family and grows almost everywhere in Sardegna It's a wild thyme and in my area we call it "armidda" and you can use it for different dishes like wild meat or even in sauces but flavour it's quite strong so better not to use too much. Thanks for your video.. Ciao
Grazie mille 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato di niente.. Mia madre mí manda íl Mirto tutti gli anni e adesso che vivo in Irlanda mi son piantato íl mirto pure qua ma é diverso dal nostro sardo..
Spectacoolar.
Thanks 🤪
good job
Thanks 😊
Oh yes it is Thyme. Thank you for a perfect video.
Ok thanks 👍🏼 I had the doubt
For many years I've grown numerous varieties of the herb Thyme. There's five different plants sitting near me right now. Thyme the herb is in the mint family and flowers have never produced berries on any of my plants. The shrub he took the berries certainly is not the plant of Mediterranean origin, now spread around the world, that is commonly called "Thyme" the herb. Not familiar with Myrtle outside the Myrtle wood bowl sitting here on my desk. I'll have to do some research, but the plant appears to be more closely related to the evergreen shrub called Juniper.
Yes 👍🏼 could be more close to juniper
@@KowboyUSA I fully agree that Thyme do not produce berries, but that was not the plant Cuoredicioccolato showed us when he told us about the other plants/herbs that was growing there together with the Mirto/Myrtle. He thought that it was Oregano and it was Thyme. Don't you agree?
@@evablcher8788 Sorry, I hadn't watched that part yet when I replied. Yes, it was Thyme. Should've just deleted my reply but forgot to ;-)
Thanks
Welcome 😊
Yes, the plant looks like it might be thyme ( pronounced like we say ‘time’ in English.)
Thanks for the recipe.
👍🏼 thanks for the pronunciation

I used to collect wild sloe berries with my grandfather as a child. He would prick them all over and put them in a massive glass jar, add about 4kg of white sugar and then add about six bottles of gin. It’s a similar drink I guess. It’s great Christmas drink with tonic water or without as a liquor.
Great video.
When are you heading back east?
Thanks for sharing your childhood experience 👍🏼
Olives trees but they are not mine
The berries look a lot like Juniper berries, but the plant looks more like a Huckleberry bush and not at all like a Juniper bush. Very interesting. I would like to taste the liqueur.
Thanks for the information 👍🏼
8:06 this is why i love this dude
😂👍🏼
In Chile would be called "Arrayán". We do have mediterranen weather as well, between La Serena and Curicó.
Best regards
Thanks 🤩 for the information 👍🏼
I have beautiful 70 year old Common Myrtle bushes in front of my little house... Now I will make liqueur from their sweet little berries! ♥♥♥
70 ? 🤩 spectacular 👍🏼
La Favola😚! 😂
😉👍🏼
Is it Thyme? Lokks like, gor it in my garden :) Spectacular !
Thanks for the information 👍🏼 yes it’s right
BRAVO, da noi questo si chiama; BOROVIČEK!
Ciao, e buona fortuna in lavoro.
Ok 👍🏼 grazie 🤩
Te ti sei veramente in gamba!
Ti rispondi spesso e subito.
Se ti servira, un giorno, aiuto come quida per Fiume / Rijeka. Chiama me. Ciao e Grazie.
Ok 👍🏼 grazie mille
Do you have any liquor recipes with black currants?
I have really enjoyed your videos.
You're doing great. Thanks
No sorry 😩 but you can follow this one
ruclips.net/video/bINmKsvuUoc/видео.html
Lovely video, thank you! How do you use the berries that are left over? I don't eat meat but I want to learn to use myrtle on tofu instead. Do you use the leaves or the flowers of the myrtle? Thanks!
We use it for stew recipe both leaves and berries
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Thanks! Do you use dry or fresh leaves? Would love to see a video on how you use it in your kitchen. I will be trying this mirto recipe this month! ❤
You can use both 😉 maybe I will use in the future but I don’t know when 😬
Love your videos! Can you make an Frangelico video?
Maybe in the future 👍🏼
I will prepare this year when berries grow
Spectacular 🥳
Hi, thx for the video. It has to be a good liqueur but how strong is it in the end of the proces? You used a 96% of alcohol at the beginning.
40%
In Cyprus we have so much white myrtle communis berrys, they are very sweet amd bigger. Do you know them and make something with it in Sicly?
You can use it in the same way for this recipe 😉
I liked the movement of your hand when you tried the drink. How much alcohol percent is in the drink?
🥳👍🏼 sorry I don’t remember check on the video
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to infuse home made wine instead of the alcohol?
Yes but it will be wine 😉 not liquor
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato thanks for your quick reply. I don't care about the difference. Hhh
😂👍🏼 ok 😉 perfect
Try remaking apple wine again! I want to watch more about it. I have a lot of apple in my place so i want to try them.
Bravo 👍🏼
Thyme!
Yes 👍🏼
Lovely accent.. you sound so cute and wonderful at same time.
😂👍🏼 thanks 😊
Oregano is in the mint family, it looks like hairless mint with smooth edges. Basil is also in the mint family , plants in the mint have perpendicularly sets of leave, like an X when you look at it from the top.
Ok 👍🏼 thanks for the information
Even easier way to identify plants from the mint family- the stem is not round, it is square!
Thanks 👍🏼
Is mirto like a blueberry?
I love your videos...great recipes.
More similar to juniper
I see, thank you. Juniper grows here, in Canada, I imagine myrtle might grow here too. I will look into it.
😉👍🏼
Mirto actually looks like blueberry but the berries are smaller and the leaves have a lovely aroma Compare to the blueberries. You can find Mirto or Mirtle ( in English) plants in garden centers. The type of plants are very similar to those ones in the video but they come from Chile or somewhere else but when you squeeze the leaves the perfume its very very similar and the berries could have different colours from red to black or blue.
It is not a sweet berry but very fragrant - like juniper in aroma. The leaves are firm and a little waxy. To make mirto liquor it is best to get berries in nov/dec. we also used to have a clear green tinged mirto made from the leaves but didn’t taste as good. Myrtle and Juniorr are different plants - The myrtle I have seen North America is different than the mirto of Sardinia. Most myrtle I have seen here is grown for decoration and not the berries.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😉🥃🤪
I think your recipes are really good, and using 96% alcohol makes a big difference, I think. The taste is much better than if you use Vodka for example. I have always used Vodka but having tried with 96% it made the liquor so much better.
Yes 👍🏼 but in many countries it is difficult to find
Yes I fully agree. I can't buy it here In Denmark so I buy it in Italy or Germany.
😉👍🏼
Can we do blueberry?
Yes but the taste will be completely different 😉 try with juniper berries
Have you ever tried making mead , . i believe its called " Idromele" in Italian ?
😉 ruclips.net/video/aCQMb6OVWq8/видео.html
What kind of berry bush is for this lacquered recipe?
Mirto that it’s common on the Mediterranean side
👍👍👍💕💕💕😋😋😋
🥳
Please tell me, those 10-12 days can i keep it at room 23-30C temperature or it has to be lower? can i keep it in the fridge? will it still work?
Room temperature 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato can also tell me if i use forest blueberries and i just triple your quantities is it ok? 900g berries, 900g alcohol + 100g and 540g sugar with 1200ml water its ok?
Triple all the ingredients 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato sorry to bother you again, but are there any risks of methanol building in the recipient in this mode? i've been reading a lot of stuff... :p
This one is a liquor, not a wine. You need to buy food alcohol or pure natural alcohol
👍⭐
😉👍🏼
What does the alco content be for this ?
40% more or less
Holy moly! Why had not I subscribed to this channel way earlier? I have been following, learning and recreating or utilizing the tips from this man for years in my own cooking life! 😆💛👍👍👍.\
Thanks my dear 🥳👍🏼
Thyme on Bruschetta? I've been playing with making my own bruschetta, I cook diced tomatoes and basil together until the juice starts to reduce, add a cheese blend on top and put on toast. But thyme? If you say its good I'll give it a try
Yes but with fresh tomatoes 😉
Man you and these boozy drinks!! Love it! Hope you are safe and well?
🤪 thanks we are fine 👍🏼 and you guys?
Can dried fruits be used or must they be fresh?
Dried fruit will be fine 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Perfect! Thanks!
😉👍🏼
What is the difference in using white sugar and brown sugar?
Taste and color
Drink it ice cold. We used the branches and leaves when cooking pig as a fragrant
😋👍🏼 spectacular
Si trova anche liofilizzato o secco il mirto? Sono in Australia e sono disperato
Forse secco, tipo le bacche di ginepro 😉
Could dried myrtle berries be used instead??
Yes 👍🏼 you can
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Great! Approximately, how many gram would you suggest??
Only 50% 😉 let us know when you taste it
You can mix vodka with sirup beery
Different result, this is more strong 😉
Looks good ! We can't get alcohol like that in my country, it's bad for us. It is very easy to buy drugs though 🙄 . 2x 🚁 !
😱
Can you use blueberries Instead?
No. Myrtle is not like blueberries... Myrtle is similar to Juniper berries in aroma and flavor. www.gardenia.net/plant/myrtus-communis-common-myrtle
You can always make a Blueberry liqueur, but it will not taste like Myrtle.
Yes but the taste will be completely different
Yes 👍🏼 exactly 😉 thanks
how can we produce alcohol in wine without adding outer alcohol?
ruclips.net/video/xlOBqM1L1II/видео.html
more brewing vids plz lol
I will 😉
May i know what alcohol you are adding into the Berries?
Alcool Etilico Puro 96% Vol. - 1L: amzn.to/3k5hQjb
Holy smokes! That would be tasty but wouldn't the alcohol content be very high or did I miss something? I only take a sip of liquor once every 6 months. I think 2 sips of that and I'd be dancing on the tables! I have nothing against alcohol. It just gets me drunk faster as I get older. I might try this recipe with some berries from here in Ecuador. My friends will try it for me! lol
Yes 👍🏼 one sips is enough 😉
Well it looks like thyme to me. Small leaves and growing in a dry sunny place.
Yes 👍🏼 probably you are right 😉 thanks
That isa anota oraganum.
It is thymus
Syrop (sirop, not sairop) sherbet sorbet
Ok 👍🏼 thanks
What is the alcohol % after putting 95% cooking alcohol.
More or less 40% check this link
www.uomodicasa.it/2020/12/27/calcolo-online-gradazione-alcolica/
I just discovered that there was an english version of the channel after a few years, lol
😂👍🏼 sorry for my English
That was not oregano it's thyme
Ok 👍🏼 thanks
Hello. I'm pharmacist from Serbia, but also I am a botanist, more like hobby. Maybe I can help you about plants you explore. But I need better photos and informations about places you find them (location, type of habitat, level above sea, etc).
Spectacular 👍🏼 many people that live in the south of Italy confirmed that it is thyme
😉 thanks maybe I will need your help in the future
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato you're welcome. But for me, thyme is common name for a lot pf different species from genus Thymus. I would like to know latin names of plants you use in your recipes, like you used some kind of oak (Quercus sp), then different kind of berries, like in this one, and others. I'm just so curious to know their exact latin names, to know which same or similar species in my area (and for others in their part of the world), I can use like a substitute in your recipes, which I like very much. Anyway, thank you so much for beautiful videos you put here.
Thymus serpyllum 😉
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato sorry, but I don't think so. It's more likely to be Thymus capitatus, maybe you can check that with someone from your area.
@@stefanbogosavljevic maybe YOU should check with someone from thst area
This alcohol you use. I never saw anything remotely as strong as 96% when I lived in Europe. Are you using the American percentage? That is usually double, like Celsius and Fahrenheit. That kind of strength is worse than hillbilly moonshine😂You’ll go blind ha ha
No it’s Italian percentage 96% is alcohol 4% is water
