Hi everyone, I am Rossella. Welcome to my world.
I lived a happy life in self-sufficiency during 35 years with my husband in Calabria. Nowadays, I live alone in Pentedattilo, one of the Calabrian most artistic old vilIages. I will be happy to share my knowledge and to recive your help to continue this simple and healthy but hard life.
I have 18 goats and I milk them every day to make my own cheese (ricotta and tome) in an artisanal and typical way.
I have a big garden where I cultivate all the vegetables which can grow here. After pruning, I make many things with them: pesto, differents sauces, vegetables conservated in oil, dry tomatoes, and many more.
Additionally I pick up wild plants to make medicine or aromatics and sometimes I dry them to use it later for cooking or preparations with oil. I also love to bake bread in my stone oven.
Since a few years I also have an bnb above my own flat, where I also prepare meals for tourists and visitors and I need help in the kitchen, at the tables and in cleaning the rooms.
Help me in all the my different activities and immerge yourself in the typical calabrian life.

Vorrei lasciare qui la mia recensione sull'incredibile esperienza che ho avuto nel condividere due settimane con te su Workaway. Le tue abilità culinarie sono impressionanti, e tutto ciò che prepari è semplicemente delizioso, dal formaggio ai salumi, il tutto fatto con tanto amore per i turisti.
È stato un onore aiutarti nel tuo… read more

She is an explosion of energy, one moment making cheese, the next looking after the goats, baking bread, moving house, organising transport for the goats and pig, selling at farmers markets after her car broke down !!

Rossella is such a stunning soul and a lovely person to talk to. I do not speak Italian, but it was made easier as there were two other volunteers there who spoke it rather well! With translations by them, her good understanding… read more
