Manna cannoli

20g or 40g box

In its typical cylindrical shape, the manna is obtained from the natural lymph of the ash tree. The tree trunk is cut and the lymph drips along a nylon thread connected to a steel lamina put under the incision. By pouring out, the lymph forms a long stalactite, which is cut into pieces after a couple of days. The manna so obtained is called "cannoli" and is considered manna in its purest form, because it's pretty much impurity-free.

Manna can be used as a natural sweetener: its main component is D-Mannitolo, a hexavalent colourless alcohol, odourless and sugary to the tongue, also known as "Manna Sugar", a substance included in the category of alcohol-sugars that can be consumed even by diabetic people.
