Italy
Roseto Valfortore
These cherry blossoms come from Villa Elisabetta: a private small holding run by a father-daughter team.
Villa Elisabetta is located on the outskirts of a beautiful village in North West Puglia called Roseto Valfortore. It is a peaceful, untouched, and largely unknown village that is officially classified as one of the ‘Borghi Più Belli d’Italia’. It is certainly one of the hidden gems of Italy.
The orchard is surrounded by rolling hills of the sub-Apennine Daunia mountains, enriched with flora, fauna and forests.
Cirelli family
Handpicked and air-dried
The blossoms have been selectively and delicately handpicked by the daughter of the Cirelli team – and have been sourced from wild cherry trees nestled in a virgin and untouched private forest located on the land of the villa.
Delicately and slowly air-dried over a period of several weeks to retain all their oils, the blossoms have been lovingly hand-turned each day. A rare find, and are extremely limited edition.
