ADOPTIONS
1. What are Mannos adoptions?
Our adoptions are a unique and engaging way to get to know the world of traditional Sardinian products better. It is an experience that allows you to learn in depth about the production process, to visit the place of production, and at the end to receive the product itself with a different level of awareness than a normal purchase would give you.
2. How long do the adoptions last?
The adoption lasts for one year and is not automatically renewed. If you want to, you can renew it when it expires.
3. How do the Mannos adoptions work?
Once the adoption fee is paid, over the course of the year the participant will receive regular updates with various information and details regarding their chosen product. In addition, he/she will have the opportunity to visit the production site to learn more about the tradition and the production process and meet the producers directly. As stated on the specific adoption page, the adoption contents will be shipped at the indicated time.
4. What type of products can I adopt?
We have decided to offer the main ingredients and products of Sardinian cuisine. Currently available are: red wine, extra virgin olive oil, pecorino cheese, flours and honey.

As we identify new products that meet our requirements of authenticity and sustainability, we will add them to our currently available adoption packages.
