Description

Elderberry ( Sambucus Nigra) in its scientific name, is a very common plant on the boot, usually ascribed to the hedge family.

The small size, in fact, makes this tree an almost ubiquitous vegetable: it is found in mountain woods, in city parks, but also close to roads and urban areas.

In addition to its purely ornamental function, the elderberry is also widely used as a food and in the herbal field. The fruits are excellent eaten fresh, or dried, or for the production of jams. While the dried flowers can be used for the preparation of herbal teas .

Our company has been cultivating Sambucus nigra plants for many years, from which we collect the flowers by hand during the spring season. The plants are grown in an absolutely natural way, without the aid of chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.

Once harvested, the flowers are dried at low temperatures, using special tunnels with controlled temperatures and ventilation. The temperatures in the tunnel never exceed 43°, with the aim of keeping the organoleptic properties of the plant unaltered.

Finally the flowers are packaged and are ready to be used for the preparation of tasty hot or cold herbal teas. The cold elderberry herbal tea with the addition of a little lemon is also excellent.
