Christmas Eve smells of tradition at the Micropanificio Farina Madre di Atina
In the heart of Atina, one of the most authentic villages in the Comino Valley, there is one place where Christmas has a special flavour: the Microbakery Flour Mother. Since 2017, this craft workshop has become a reference point for those who love the bread made with sourdough, an art that has been embraced here from day one and that over the years has led the bakery to be permanently listed in the prestigious guide of the Gambero Rosso - Bread and Bakers of Italy.
For those who live in or visit the Valle di Comino, Farina Madre is not just a bakery: it is a must, a small world where the aromas of tradition mingle with innovation, especially during the festive season.
