What makes Ordine Contadino flowers and herbs special?

The flowers and herbs are hand-picked and within minutes brought to the drying rooms and placed on frames. The company practices natural drying by dehumidifying the air, without increasing the ambient temperature. The herbs, first defoliated, and dried flowers are placed in paper bags to be stored at controlled humidity and temperature. This process, combined with the chemical/physical/organic characteristics of the soil and the climatic value of the place (Temperature excursion/Solar exposure/Altitude) leads to a dried product with high concentration of essential oils and high color yield over time.
