[Thoughts on the Table – 88] Chinotto – The Other Way of Drinking Dark

By Paolo @quatrofromaggio

This episode is dedicated to the soft drink Chinotto and it's unusual in that, for once, I am not in the company of a guest (although I'd like to think that I still have a guest: you, the listener!)

In this episode, I try to break down Chinotto - from my memory of sipping it for the first time, to its presence while I was growing up in Italy, to the origin of its name, its flavor, and especially of its bitterness!

BTW, I'd really like to know... What is your experience with Chinotto? Have you tasted it? Do you love it as I do? Do you think it might not be as bitter as you remember it?
