About this experience
One of the most authentic, ancient and most respected customs and crafts in Bulgaria is picking roses. This makes one of the most unique products of rose - the jam and the rose oil! Interesting not only for its taste but also for its preparation - it is made of young rose flowers, picked early in the morning, of a special sort - the oil-bearing Kazanlak Rose, which is grown only in the latitudes of the Rose Valley in Bulgaria. Authentic leavening of yoghurt is the other activity in this tour which shows you the beauty of the rural lifestyle and the preparation of products at home.
An experience brushing up your knowledge and giving you hands-on with the locals.
