Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Antola

The best roses to produce the jam are the Damask Rose, the Rugosa rose, Gallic rose and the Provence rose, also called "chapeau de Napoléon". All these roses come from the Genoese and Ligurian hills, cultivated without chemical treatments by trusted people. The petals must be pink and not red, because the latter are usually bitterer, and once cleaned thy are ready to become the Rose Syrup or the rose's petals jam, also called with the rationale name of "rose-colored sugar".
