The Liquor of Tradition: the G\u00e9n\u00e9py at Emy’s<\/a><\/h2>\n\n

In the Aosta Valley, people have been making the so-called “G\u00e9n\u00e9py<\/strong>,” the region’s typical liqueur<\/strong>, for several generations.\nHere in Emy<\/a>‘s version. <\/p>\n\n

This is a very tasty liqueur made from alcohol <\/strong>and dried inflorescences of g\u00e9n\u00e9py<\/strong>, a seedling that grows high in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n

Emilia Berthod<\/a><\/strong>, a producer of Tascapan from Valle d’Aosta, has been making this liqueur for several years, cultivating her seedlings with great passion, which she then employs in the production of the distillates.<\/p>\n\n

How do you make homemade G\u00e9n\u00e9py da Emy<\/a> Classic?<\/h2>\n\n

By purchasing the “G\u00e9n\u00e9py Fai Da Te<\/strong>” box, you will have the opportunity to produce the typical Aosta Valley liqueur directly at home.<\/p>\n\n

But do you think about it?\nAt the end of meals, you can serve your friends a distillate made with your own hands! <\/p>\n\n

This is all thanks to the secret recipe of traditional Valdostana, which Emilia inherited from her ancestors and now generously offers you inside the box.<\/p>\n\n

The instructions are very simple: follow them to the letter and you will get your own wonderful liquor, made with your own hands, at home.<\/p>\n\n

Here’s what you need to do:<\/p>\n\n

First you will need to macerate the dried g\u00e9n\u00e9py seedlings<\/strong> you will find inside the box in 1 liter of alcohol.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

In the package you will be given a glass jar<\/strong> with an airtight seal, and it is in there that you should let your brewing liquor sit for about a month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

During this time, the alcohol will have acquired an aromatic flavor and will also have changed its color from transparent to light green.<\/p>\n\n

At this point, you will need to boil 1 liter of water <\/strong>on the stove, where, at a later time, you will go to melt it:<\/p>\n\n
