FRUIT AND FLOWER SYRUPS

Each year, between May and September, our workshop fills up with flowers and fragrances. We only use the finest ripe fruit and most delicate petals to make our rose petal and distilled orange water syrups, both of which form part of the Slow Food initiative, raspberry, blueberry and mint syrups and almond milk.

NATURAL ARTISANAL SYRUPS

Every year, between May and September, the factory fills with flowers and perfumes. Only with the best ripe fruit and the most delicate petals do we produce rose petal syrup and distilled orange blossom water, both Slow Food Presidia, blueberry syrup, mint syrup and almond milk.

RESPECT FOR NATURE'S TIMING

Flower syrup, particularly rose syrup, represents a centuries-old tradition of Ligurian confectionery, when these elixirs were used both as refreshing drinks and as natural remedies.

FOLLOWING THE RHYTHM OF BLOOMING

Processing begins with careful selection of flowers and fruit. The petals are separated manually with care, one by one, while the fruit is cut by hand to prepare it for subsequent processing phases. Each syrup is the result of the careful and skillful gesture of artisans, who follow processes handed down through generations, preserving the quality and authenticity of each product, just as we do for our candied fruits and artisanal jams.

NATURAL COLORS AND PERFUMES

Fruit and flower syrups contain no dyes or artificial flavors. The intense color derives exclusively from the raw material used. Each bottle contains the pure essence of nature, just like our rose petal preserve.

VERSATILITY OF USE IN COOKING AND MIXOLOGY

Rose petal syrup is a refined alternative to replace sugar in beverages and is perfect for enriching yogurt, ice cream or a flute of champagne, delicately enhancing the flavor.

For a floral touch in sweet doughs, we recommend distilled orange blossom water, which embellishes some of our creations like canestrelli, candied chestnut cream and Genoese pandolce.

Blueberry and mint syrups can be enjoyed alone or used to enrich drinks and cocktails, creating unique and refreshing combinations.

FAQ

How are flower syrups used?
Syrups are diluted in fresh water (1 part syrup, 5-6 parts water) for refreshing drinks. They are also perfect for flavoring cocktails, herbal teas, yogurt and desserts. Rose syrup is ideal for pastry making.
Do the syrups contain preservatives?
No, our syrups contain neither preservatives nor flavorings.
How long do they last once opened?
Syrups, stored in the refrigerator after opening, maintain their quality for 6-8 months. The closed bottle keeps for over two years in a cool, dark place.
What's the difference between syrup and fruit juice?
Syrup has a much higher concentration of fruit and sugar, and is meant to be diluted. Juice is ready to drink. Our syrups are more versatile and lend themselves to multiple uses in cooking and mixology.
