Do-it-yourself recipes

In November, in the countryside of Vieste, groups of farmers dedicated to the olive harvest meet in the centuries-old olive groves of which this city is rich. The olive groves of the Gargano look like particular and exceptional sculptures that mother nature had fun creating. The oil that these plants produce is genuine and delicious, with extraordinary and well-known cosmetic properties it has been the oil for soap for centuries, rich in emollient substances, the soap produced is a hard and compact soap with excellent cleaning power. However, since it produces little foam, which I like a lot, I thought about adding a small percentage of coconut oil to our yellow gold.

The oil that is produced in the province of Foggia and therefore also in Vieste, has received the denomination of extra virgin olive oil D.O.P. Dauno Gargano. The oil produced from olives harvested using the stripping method by 30 January and pressed within three days since harvesting receives this denomination.

The "liquid gold" flavors every dish giving the typical cuisine of the Gargano an unmistakable flavor that greatly contributes to enhancing the quality of the various ingredients that make up and characterize any element, I thought then: why shouldn't I accept this invitation from La Saponaria and produce a soap worthy of my land? I took up this opportunity with both hands, because producing soap is like entering a magical world, having a space to relax after the stress of the day and, in addition to remembering my origins, when my grandparents produced soap at home. This explains why I really love making every type of recipe that comes my way, however, this time thanks to you I made my own recipe, typical of the area where I live where olive oil is produced in abundance !!
