Our recipe for the "vegan lemon cream, almonds and coffee" cake

Linseed oil, used pre-shampoo is excellent for nourishing dry and brittle hair, to remove frizz and make it shiny.

This soap is inspired by the scent that invades our garden every summer, that of lemon beerbrush! At home we have always used lemon beerbrush in the kitchen, to make excellent herbal teas and a fantastic digestive liqueur .. And I thought: why not experiment with it in soap too? !! I then made this recipe with the hot method, using both the lemon beerbrush infusion and the leaves in the dough to create a light exfoliating effect. (this year, incredible but true, the lemon beerbrush is still in bloom in November !!)

ace represented by the soap: Trento and the tradition of Vin Brulé (Mulled Wine) consumed in the streets.

Why does it represent the proverb "Saponi e buoi dei paesi tuoi"? Vin Brulé is a sweetened wine cooked with orange and lemon zest, cinnamon, cloves, and a pinch of nutmeg. It's delicious, but above all, it's THE winter drink of Trento! In the city center, at every corner, there's a stall selling it in small cups that warm your hands. Its aroma fills Piazza Fiera, which during the winter is adorned with Christmas markets, and it's a must-have during the holiday season in the villages. If in the summer, after work, people meet in the square for a "Spritz," in the winter, they gather for a Brulè at the Christmas market! It may seem a bit too warm and too spicy to be an aperitif, but it's incredibly tasty and is said to work wonders against colds. So, if you have a sore throat or a stuffy nose, instead of recommending aspirin, they'll tell you to "have a Brulè!" which, with cinnamon and the essential oils of lemon and orange, is truly a remedy. And the beautiful thing is that you can drink it in the street. Despite the early darkness, the snow, and the fact that Trentini are known for their reserve, by the time the shops close, the streets are bustling! Okay, it's true that by nine o'clock, there's no one left... but hey, we're still in Trento, and you can't expect too much when it's minus ten degrees outside! In Trento, Brulè is made with red wine, and there are as many recipes as there are pots it's cooked in, but the base is always the same: citrus fruits and spices. A scent that immediately brings Christmas to mind and warms not only the stomach but also the heart.

Place represented by the soap

Brianza (Lombardy)

Beekeeping in Brianza is a little-known little pearl. Despite being at the gates of a large metropolis, there are many small businesses that are dedicated to the production of honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis and the like, each with its very precious properties. Honey in particular has regenerating properties for damaged tissues, has energizing properties, strengthens the skin's defenses and protects against smog, atmospheric agents and sudden changes in temperature.

Even in the choice of the soap base, we tried to choose mainly fats available in local production or in any case of Italian production, avoiding the massive use of too exotic fats. At the same time, however, we wanted to obtain a complete soap with a consistent and soft foam and a warm and enveloping scent.
