You will visit the production workshop and discover how the berries become uniquely and distinctively scented liqueurs in the steam still, where the entire harvesting and production cycle starting from the plants will be explained.

Expert guides will accompany you on this sensory experience culminating in a tasting of myrtle in combination with various products and an olfactory tasting of fine essential oils. Experience an irresistible journey through the flavors and scents of Sardinia!

The tasting consists of tasting five types of myrtle:

  • Berry myrtle accompanied by small pieces of traditional pecorino cheese
  • Berry and leaf myrtle accompanied by typical Sardinian artisanal cold cuts
  • White myrtle accompanied by dark chocolate
  • Myrtle and honey served on artisanal ice cream (stracciatella or vanilla)
  • Reserve myrtle liqueur accompanied by mature pecorino cheese

This will be followed by an olfactory tasting that includes three 100% pure and natural essential oils available from myrtle, wild lavender, lentisk and rosemary, extracted in a steam current from leaves and flowers of local plants.
