What you can expect

Walking among the ash trees, from which this precious sap is extracted every summer, you will hear the storey of the deep bond that unites man and nature. Mario will show you how to carve the bark and how the manna, slowly solidifying in the sun, turns into delicate creamy-yellow flakes.

Through explanations, anecdotes and historical trivia, you will learn about the many uses of this extraordinary substance: from natural medicine to cosmetics to typical pastries.

The experience will be completed with a true sensory immersion: you will taste pure manna, enjoy delicious manna cookies and, if you wish, try your hand at preparing a natural beauty mask.

An authentic encounter that will take you inside an ancient knowledge, still alive thanks to the passion of those who guard it.
