Plant preparation & installation

1. Aromatic plant creation & propagation.

The journey begins with the creation of a seedbed and the meticulous placement of seeds within it. Specialized equipment carefully regulates heat and humidity to create the ideal conditions for plant growth. Once the plants surpass 15 cm in size, they are prepared for transplantation into the field.

2. A healthy environment for plants to flourish.

To achieve the highest quality without the need for herbicidal or insecticidal sprays, we implement the raised beds technique. Carefully installed, certified ground covers maintain even soil temperatures, and limit weed growth, creating an aerated and healthy environment for our plants to flourish.

Hands-on where it matters. Precise where it counts.

Harvest

We harvest by hand, selecting the appropriate parts of each plant at the right stage of growth and flowering. Careful selection helps limit foreign matter and maintain product quality.

4

Drying

After harvesting, the herbs are naturally dried in dark, well-ventilated spaces to help preserve their aroma, colour and distinctive characteristics.

5

Processing

The final stage involves sifting with a high-tech electric sieve paired with a powerful grinder driven by an inverter motor, separating herbs from stalks and foreign bodies.
