Silene Vulgaris, known locally as «Sclopit»

“Sclopit” is the Friulian name for Silene Vulgaris, also known as “Silene Herb,” a wild plant that grows in fallow fields and permanent meadows across the region during springtime. It is called Silene due to the shape of its flowers, whose inflated calyx resembles the belly of the Greek god Silenus — companion of Bacchus, the god of wine. The name “Sclopit” comes from a local tradition: children used to pop its balloon-shaped flowers, which made a sound similar to a small explosion — a “sclopit” in the Friulian dialect.
This herb can grow up to around 70cm in height, with ovate-lanceolate leaves of a silvery green hue, often tending toward gray. Its tender shoots offer a delicate flavor with a mildly bitter note, reminiscent of spinach or nettle — a unique taste that pairs beautifully with our drinks.

Il Figo Moro from Caneva (dark fig)

The Figo Moro grows in the hills between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, in a sun-drenched area exposed to sunlight all day long. The soil here is particularly rich in calcium carbonate — as evidenced by the many local quarries — and the climate benefits from constant ventilation and a distinctive thermal inversion. The plant produces elongated fruits with dark, thin skin that naturally forms cracks when the fig reaches perfect ripeness. Inside, the flesh is a deep red, soft, honeyed, and intensely sweet — a sensation that is immediately perceived on the palate. The Figo Moro from Caneva undergoes no chemical treatment, which means it can be eaten with its skin — where many of its unique and distinctive flavors are concentrated.
