Welcome to the mint capital!
A farm specialising in the cultivation and production of essential mint oils in Pancalieri.
It stands out for the high quality of its cultivation processes, its experimentation, its attention to environmental impact (and the preservation of the land) following tradition since 1865.
Practices such as hot steam distillation or drying of the seedlings are used, and the company also caters ‘retail’ by offering more than 100 high quality products, prepared according to natural and exclusive recipes, all based on peppermint.
Visits and workshops at the ‘Museum of Mint and Medicinal Plants’ (in the town centre) are by appointment.
Videos are shown of the processing of mint and other herbs, testimonies, photos, machinery.
At the end of the visit, we return to the company premises for a tasting, visit to the exhibition, and a mint garden.

Sustainability
The company (small, family-run) has a very limited impact on the environment; since the beginning of the activity, various initiatives have been taken to counteract both the impact and waste of production; strict selection criteria are implemented in order to obtain the best working partnerships.
Environment: renunciation of all ‘unnecessary’ packaging and reduction of plastic (use of sustainable packaging), km0 processing/supplies, production at existing workshops in the vicinity, cooperation with other local companies for the use of machinery and cultivation practices.
Direct sales.
Cleaning with ecological, biodegradable, steam products.
Recovery of processing waste.
Use of photovoltaics, ‘A’ consumption classification of farm structures.
Collaborations: to obtain the various specialities (exclusive recipes), preference is given to small local craftsmen, charitable organisations that work with disabled people.
Training projects for schools, internships (school-to-work), competitions for students are proposed.
