Mugolio, Exquisite Pine Bud Syrup from Primitivizia

Are you always looking for new flavors to try? Know a foodie with a love of unique ingredients? This Mugolio syrup, which was featured in the April 2010 issue of Oprah Magazine, is a pine cone bud syrup made from the forests in the Dolomites. Collected from the buds of Mugo pines, it has a consistency similar to maple syrup but with a unique flavor profile featuring hints of pine and rosemary.

Mugolio pine syrup can be used in a number of creative culinary applications. It’s excellent when served with goat cheese, pears, and apples. It can also be drizzled over gelato with fresh peaches. Use this pine bud syrup to create a flavorful vinaigrette or add a few drops to bring out a distinctive flavor in freshly roasted chicken or turkey. Stir it into a hot cup of tea for a subtly sweet and earthy accent.

A recipe for Poached Pears with Mugolio and Mascapone can be found on the web site of Adri Barr Crocetti.
