THE GOODNESS
OF ROSES
In the garden of Prelà Castello we grow roses to make rose syrup. They are old roses (the youngest selection date 1935), created specifically for food use. They have an incredibly heady scent, but theirs is an ephemeral beauty: they last up to 48 hours and must be collected, patiently, almost every day and under the sun, because they must be perfectly dry. Every harvest has hundreds of buds that are processed only with boiling water, a little lemon and sugar. Biologically.
That of rose’ s syrup is a typically Genoese tradition, practically unknown in the western Liguria, but Luigi, who grew up in Genoa, started to cultivate them as soon as he found the perfect vegetable garden: in the hills, away from the greenhouses, with spring water.

Journey time: 10 minutes.
