Cooked must is a traditional product much appreciated in various Italian regions, especially in Sicily, Calabria, Puglia and other regions of southern Italy. It is a natural sweetener obtained from grape must, which is slowly cooked until it obtains a thick and dark liquid with a rich and caramelized flavor. The grapes are harvested and pressed to obtain must, and no alcohol is added to the cooked must. During cooking, the must is slowly reduced until it loses much of its water content. The cooking process can last several hours and requires constant attention to prevent the must from burning. The result is a thick, dark liquid, similar to syrup.
This seasoning is often used to enrich traditional desserts, but it can also be used as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, ricotta or fresh cheeses. It is also used in some meat and game recipes for marinades and sauces, giving a sweet and caramelized flavor.
