Aromatic Plants

Organic Farming

The Principle

The Principle

Altough our production is  certified as organic farming , we have as principle to avoid forcing the natural growth rhythm of plants, because, despite superior yields, there is usually an associated quality cost.

Drying

Drying

Our herbs are dried in a solar dryer, ensuring, however, that temperatures do not exceed 45 ° C so that the process is not too fast and thus the aromas and properties of plants are kept to the maximum.

The Processing

The Processing

The processing is done, avoiding mechanical cutting equipment and high rotation that tend to generate heat and lead to the loss of aroma. The leaves are separated from the trunks, manually to ensure the maximum quality of the infusions and condiments.

Et Voilá !

At Quinta do Mel we produce about 20 different herbs for infusion and seasonings, which we sell in various types of packaging and mixes in our store and briefly online.
