In summer, there are few things more refreshing than a sorbet or a drink that conveys the cool, clear taste of mint. Literally its essence, bottled as a syrup, is offered by a traditional Piedmontese company. It owes its strikingly refreshing aroma and, above all, taste exclusively to the essential oils of the mint plants used - it contains neither added aromas nor colorants.
Diluted with cold, clear water alone, this incredibly rich syrup is a real treat. However, it can be used in many other ways: It rounds off orange juice, lemonade and other cold drinks and is an excellent base for sorbet. It also enriches hot or cold tea, hot chocolate and - which may sound unusual at first - coffee and espresso in a way that is as remarkable as it is tasty. Even hot and iced milk - the latter a popular Italian bar recipe in days gone by - taste exceptionally good with it.
The manufacturer of the syrup not only runs her actual business with enthusiasm, she also runs a mint museum on site, which documents the importance of mint for Piedmont and its use. An importance that is also expressed visibly and, above all, tangibly in Leone's Turin peppermint pastilles.
