Elisir di San Martino

Manna has been known and appreciated since ancient times. Many virtues were attributed to it in antiquity. Healthy and natural. Usually added to water or milk. Often used as an intestinal regulator. Suitable for all ages, from infancy to expectant mothers and the elderly. The ash tree is cultivated to obtain manna. Today, cultivation for this purpose covers a very limited area in the municipalities of Castelbuono and Pollina in the province of Palermo. Manna is obtained by cutting into the ash trees and letting the sap solidify. From the incision on the trees, the sap flows out and deposits on the trunk. On contact with air it slowly solidifies. From use and research this product was born, a perfect digestive with an unmistakable fragrance. Delicious even on its own!
