Authentic Cooking Class: From Ancient Watermill to Handmade Pasta
rom the historic watermill to your plate: a hands-on journey into the secrets of traditional Molise pasta-making.
Discover the soul of Molise (this is a neighbour region of Abruzzo) through its most ancient flavors. This immersive experience takes you to Roccavivara, where time seems to stand still. Your journey begins at a historic watermill, where you will witness the magic of wheat being stone-ground into fresh flour—the very heart of Italian cuisine.
Under the expert guidance of Simonetta, you will become the protagonist of a traditional culinary ritual. You'll learn the secrets behind local pasta shapes like Cavatelli, Spaghetti alla chitarra, Tagliatelle, and Sagne. This is a "slow" experience: tactile, rewarding, and deeply connected to the land. After the hands-on lesson, you will enjoy a convivial lunch featuring the pasta you’ve created, paired with premium local wines and regional delicacies. To complete this cultural immersion, the experience includes a visit to the breathtaking Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Canneto and its Samnite archaeological excavations.
