Join the Day of Bread in Magisano, Calabria - Book a Local Bread Event for You

Summary: While on holiday at our home in Calabria, we stayed in Asphalantea on a Saturday for Bread Day and, without a doubt, it was one of the best experiences we have ever had here in Italy. We have traveled to all regions, but there is no other place in the whole country that can offer what the Asphalantea team has given us. That day, spent with Mrs. Franca's family, gave us a flood of precious memories to carry with us for life. We have been greeted with a unique warmth since our arrival – a welcome we have never found elsewhere. We immediately met among guests, and Mrs. Franca created such a welcoming atmosphere that we all felt like a real family, as if we had known each other forever. We learned a lot about our Calabrian culture, enjoyed a table full of typical delights... and then the real fun began: bread! There was no shortage of laughter as we learned to knead, add ingredients and discover all the little secrets of the trade. In front of the oven, each guest got to actively participate, and in the end we brought home our freshly baked bread. While waiting, we also danced the Calabrian tarantella and had a lot of fun! Do you want to experience a day full of Calabrian cultural activities??? Then choose Bread or Pasta Day, and you can put yourself in the shoes of our ancestors, experiencing what it meant to work together as a real family and community. Book this unique experience – you won’t regret it! Traditions, proverbs that guide our lives, Calabrian cuisine, Welcoming, music, dancing... and above all the value of spending time with the family, turning everything off to focus on everything that really matters: family and loved ones. Many thanks to Mrs. Franca, her children and Mrs. Concetta. Everything you offered us on that day was done with sincerity and genuineness. We can’t wait to come back the next time we are at home, in Calabria.

Summary: We had a wonderful day. Mrs. Franca is very welcoming. A very pleasant traditional Calabrian food. He warmed my heart taking me to my parents and his Calabrian roots. He welcomed us with his children as if they were his family. A great woman. Thank you very much. I highly recommend this activity. Thank you very much, the Calabrian Giuliana

Summary: We had a great time making bread and learning about the process. It was so cool that we were able to use starter that was over 90 years old! Franca was so energetic and amazing! We went with our family from the US (6 adults and 2 kids) and had a blast! Language barrier was tough at times, but the authentic experience was perfect!
