The "old way of spice"

        

Spice

 

Pierre, our French friend, or "herbs shepherd" as he want to be called, will introduce you in the aromatic spice world through the secrets of the harvest moments, the drying process and the working. Each plant has secrets, legends and so many properties . as the sage, from the latin "salus", health, was hold in consideration from the ancient passed. Was considered so an efficacious remedy to be named Salvia salvatrix. Still now we use it to flavour food, to protect clothes from moths, as beauty treatment and for health: to fight against depression and to soothe asthma.

 

         

 

Or like the rosemary, from the latin "rosmarinus", sea dew, that grows everywhere along the Mediterranean and mostly used in Italian, Spanish, French and Greek cookery. Or the parsley, used from the Roman Empire. In it's fresh leaves holds calcium, iron, phosphorus and an elevated contents of A and C vitamins. 5 gr of parsley give you the necessary, daily quantity of A vitamin 30 gr of parsley give you the necessary, daily quantity of C vitamin.

            
                               
  

Pierre, as a great magician, draws his inspiration from everything, as a special sunset, a storm, the wind, to create extraordinary mixtures that will convey feelings of our land and love for those simple but precious plants. After the lesson, you'll have a final and complete tasting of his magic herbs with typical cheese and wine. This will be a special friendly moment and will give you the possibility to understand how to use herbs to appreciate better the food and the wine. And if you've enjoyed your tour you can buy his products in nice, small jars.
