The Helicrysum Italicum, commonly known as the the Everlasting Flower (Sempreviva) has a distinctively Mediterranean fragrance, with reminiscences of curry and rosemary.

This herb with medicinal properties has also remarkable healing properties: antioxidant, antimicrobial and digestive.

The dried flowers are very decorative, and they have been used not only for healing but also to prevent insects into the house, due to their intense aroma.

The “garoinada” is a traditional culinary event and specialty in the coastal town of Palafrugell that celebrates the sea urchin (known as “garoina” in Catalan), which is highly prized for its delicate and flavorful roe.

It takes place during the winter months (from January to March). Originally they are served raw, accompanied by crusty bread. The “garoinada” is not only a gastronomic experience but also a cultural celebration of the local maritime heritage and the bounty of the Mediterranean Sea.

Overall, it is an opportunity to enjoy the exquisite delicacy of fresh sea urchins and explore the coastal cuisine of Catalonia. It is a cherished event that showcases the region’s culinary treasures and provides a memorable dining experience for seafood enthusiasts.

The “Postre de músic” (musician’s dessert) is a traditional dessert consisting of a handful of assorted nuts, typically roasted almonds, hazelnuts, dried figs, apricots, and raisins. The usual presentation is on a dessert plate, with a small glass of Moscatel wine placed in the center.

We love presenting this dessert with the bottle in a ceramic plate designed by Paco Vilar and produced by Josep Matés (local ceramist).
