Peppermint is one of the most appreciated and versatile herbs, used for centuries for its therapeutic properties and its unmistakable fresh and pungent aroma. Our company, dedicated to the production of high quality essential oils, makes the most of this extraordinary plant, cultivating it and transforming it into pure and natural essential oils.
Origins and characteristics
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a hybrid plant, born from the crossing of the aquatic mint (Mentha aquatica) and the green mint (Mentha spicata). This combination gives it an intense aroma and a high content of menthol, which are the basis of its many beneficial properties. Originally from Europe and the Middle East, peppermint is now grown worldwide for culinary, medicinal and cosmetic uses.

Production and quality
The quality of the oil depends to a large extent on the agricultural practices and extraction methods used.
