Myrtle. Profumo di Sardegna
And when someone said "country you go, habits that are”, I suppose he had in mind just to myrtle. If we observe the traditions of different peoples, notice that among the Greeks myrtos symbolically represented the eroticism and lust, while among the heathen Roman sense has changed considerably, so it ended for a form of love that some call the finest, spiritual love. While, still in Sardinia myrtle is something else. The strong and inherent hospitality of the land and those who live. Anyone who has lived for a short or longer period of Sardinia you will not be able to exempt from the tasting and the dark purple drink, Sardinian since no self-respecting festival closes its meals (and) without offering an inviting glass of myrtle, sweet and savory, that seems to guard secrets and flavors of a land strong and fair as is Sardinia. The tasting can stretch in order for the lunches and dinners sardines. The liquor is extracted from the berries of the myrtle, which takes its name, which grows in bushes that do not exceed 2 mt. These are mixed with other plants that are part of the famous Mediterranean, among which the mastic, arbutus and fir trees. It is 
plants known throughout the Sardinian, but certainly also in southern Italy as well as France and Spain in the low and even Greece, similar to what concerns the climate, the same Sardinian. The surprising thing is that the myrtle liqueur is known throughout the island, well know that considerable regional differences and even nowadays the dark nectar knows a strong marketing, Sardinian families still test themselves in preparation for the traditional drink. Will therefore not be uncommon to hear men and women comment on and discuss doses of alcohol, sugar or on the amount of berries to use to get an excellent product. It is certain that, wherever you are, with closed eyes while sipping your myrtle, you seem to go for a few minutes in the small yet wonderful land of Sardinia. Curiosity: Greece myrtle is tied to the legend of Myrsine, young woman who beat a young man in the Olympics and this was transformed into a myrtle. Here is the custom to enclose the head of the winners of the games with a crown of myrtle, ilex. In the Middle Ages Berry was used to produce a pleasant scent, known as the water of the angels, and unlike the berries, that are used to produce red myrtle, the leaves are used in the production of white liquor, and to flavor meat dishes.
