"Flavours of the Iblei Mountains" ~ Aromatic Herbs
The slopes of the Iblei Mountains are enriched by the organic cultivation of numerous aromatic herbs which grow spontaneously at the foot of the Lauro Mountain. The terrain of the Iblei Mountains is been rich in minerals ever since Ragusa was a colony of the Roman Empire.
"The laurel plant was brought to Sicily by the Greek god Apollo, as a gift for the beautiful nymph, Daphne. The name Daphne means Laural who was the first love of god Apollo"
