Organic Peppermint
Peppermint is the result of a hybridization between water mint and spearmint. It likes humid spaces, roots in the cool and leaves in the sun. The land where we grow it is on the banks of the river and offers a perfect biotope for peppermint where it develops wonderfully well. Its essential oil, widely used in cooking to flavor candy, ice cream, chewing gum and alcoholic beverages, is a great classic of aromatherapy. Its fragrance is very fresh, lively and penetrating.
