Primitivizia Mugolio Pine Bud Cone Syrup 3.6 oz.
Primitivizia is a play on the word for primitive, which is what Eleonora Cunacia had in mind when starting her company. Eleonora considers herself a nomad gatherer, harvesting wild herbs and greens from the fields and forests of the Dolomite mountains. At the end of May Mugo Pine Trees grow new pinecones and gems (buds). After pollination of the gems, Eleonora harvests them and they are placed in glass pots that are left in full sunshine until late autumn. The liquid that is formed is filtered, sugar is added, and then cooked over a slow fire until dark gold in color. The result is a delicate pine flavor syrup. Use it like Balsamic Condimento or Tradizionale, Saba, or Chestnut Honey. Pour it over ice cream, ricotta, marscapone, roasted figs or try it on pork or game as part of a glaze.
