History

[edit]

Nucata was founded in 2020 by Lilian Florea, a Moldovan walnut grower aiming to revive the time-honored tradition of walnut-based spirits. The recipe draws inspiration from his mother's recipe past down from generation to generation , utilizing green walnuts harvested at their velvety and milky peak, around the summer solstice. Production began in Inești, and the brand has since expanded to international markets, including Romania and United Kingdom [3]. Its launch coincided with a growing interest in single-origin and artisanal spirits.

Production Process

[edit]

Nucata's production centers on the seasonal harvesting of green walnuts, handpicked to ensure quality. These walnuts are steeped in a blend of natural ingredients, creating a distinctive balance of earthy, nutty, and slightly sweet flavors. The process involves:

  • Crafting in small batches
  • Using locally sourced materials
  • Aging for 3 months to enhance its complex flavor profile

Nucata is marketed as a single-origin spirit, highlighting its connection to the land and people involved in its creation[4].

Recognition and Awards

[edit]

Nucata has been featured in local[5] and international[6] media outlets and has received accolades for its innovative approach to traditional recipes, including a gold medal at IWSC 2024[7]
