Soaps

All my soaps are made with extra virgin olive oil and natural essences, flowers and fruits gathered from my own countryside, then sun-dried or left to macerate in oil for forty days using the traditional cold-process method. Each bar is cut by hand, one by one, and cured for a further forty days on wooden shelves. During this time, each piece is carefully tended and turned from side to side until fully cured. I then finish every bar with ribbons in organza, satin, tulle and jute, coordinated with its colour palette. I pay close attention to every detail so that each soap is unique and perfectly balanced with the colours and fragrances that define it. Every soap is therefore a one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece, created with respect for nature.

Burretti

I call them “Burretti” because their shape and colour are reminiscent of a small pat of butter. They are small, deliberately irregular rectangular slices of handmade olive-oil soap, approximately 4 cm in size, naturally scented and wrapped in fine tulle or lace, then decorated with flowers in the chosen palette and jute ribbon or hand-torn silk ribbon.

Formelle

Handmade soap cut into slices using the traditional tarocco method. Intentionally irregular and imperfect, each piece measures approximately 10 × 4 cm. Your soap will be created especially for you, choosing the fragrance and decoration together. Your guests will receive a unique keepsake, unlike mass-produced favours.
