Our little secrets that make our herbs unique.

Cultivation

In the property of Verum Herb our cultivation is organic, using traditional cultivation techniques, healthy seeds and plants, taking into account the biological balance and avoiding any kind of environmental pollution from agricultural activities. With in-depth knowledge and respect for the environment we maintain optimal cultivation conditions, without interfering with nature, just as our ancestors did. Only in this way are the plants able to deliver the maximum of their beneficial properties.
We know that the most basic and crucial factor for successful organic farming is the soil, so we choose healthy land, free from chemical poisons, live, with multiple microorganisms living together in harmony with all living beings inhabiting in and on them. Soils rich in organic and inorganic components.

Harvest

In Verum Herb harvest takes place on sunny days and the appropriate time for each plant and herb. With attention, love and care, we gather the most suitable parts of plants and herbs by hand, in order not to injure the plant so it can blossom again.

Drying

Drying plays the most important role in the preservation of the essential oils and active substances of the herb. In verum herb we chose the traditional drying method, following in the footsteps of our grandmothers. In natural and steady air and shading conditions, thus in a well ventilated and warm place with constant temperature and dry air, under shade and no humidity. Only then can the herbs retain all the flavour and their beneficial substances to the greatest possible extent, until the moment you of consumption.
