What is manna?
La manna is a sweet, resinous substance obtained by incising the bark of ash trees found in the Madonie Park in Sicily. During the summer, the sap that comes out of the incisions solidifies in contact with the air, forming white or yellowish stalactites. This natural product, also known as "nectar of the gods," is prized for its sweetening and health-beneficial properties.
