Still known today by its old name of “Zucchero Rosato”, it comes from a 17th-century recipe. It is a mistura, a preparation that is neither jam nor compote but a unique product of old pharmaceutical origin, handed down to the present day.

The rose petals are separated by hand and carefully processed. They come from small growers in the Genoese hinterland and belong mainly to three varieties: Gallica, Muscosa and Rugosa, each with its own characteristic aromatic nuances.
