In Laconi, in the Oristano area, you can participate in an unparalleled sensory and culinary experience discovering the aromatic plants used to produce chocolates and liqueurs with the characteristic flavours and aromas of Sardinia.
With our expert guide, Rosa, the company's founder and producer, you will be immersed in the world of indigenous aromatic plants and learn to recognise and appreciate mountain thyme, wild fennel, myrtle, juniper and helichrysum, vegetable treasures of the island. You will share the secrets of their production, harvesting and processing, skilfully combining innovative techniques with respect for centuries-old traditions, and at the end you will participate in a guided tasting, where the intense flavours of chocolate and liqueurs blend harmoniously with the aromatic essences of the island.
Finally, you will have the opportunity to take home an unforgettable souvenir of these delicious products, to savour authentic and unique flavours again.
The experience is available all year round, but from June to September there is no chocolate tasting as the high temperatures in the summer period would not allow it to be processed.
Programme
On arrival at the farm, you will take a guided sensory journey through the essential oils in which you will get to know each plant and its characteristic scent.
Afterwards, you will be able to taste the various types of chocolate and herb-flavoured liqueurs typical of Sardinia, which are skilfully produced on site.
Tasting
The tasting includes:
- six types of liqueurs: thyme, fennel, juniper, helichrysum, myrtle and chocolate liqueur;
(from October to May only) various types of chocolate: truffles with milk
- chocolate and myrtle or thyme liqueur, dark chocolate with myrtle or thyme fillings, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and puffed rice bars, and chocolate with cherry in spirit fillings.
The tasting is available for participants aged 18 and over, as the liqueurs contain alcohol.
For children and adults who desire alcohol-free products, an artisanal herbal tea with herbs will be served and, in the period from October to May only, liquor-free chocolates.
