This specific selection of Virginia stands out for the typical structure of its leaves, which present a particularly thin and light composition. The raw material comes from national crops where the plant is carefully monitored throughout its growth cycle. The product is dried according to the most ancient traditional methods, a technique that allows the integrity of the plant to be preserved in respect of natural biological rhythms.

Following the drying process, the leaves are carefully processed through stripping to remove the central woody part, selecting and preserving only the outer edges of the leaf. The colour remains naturally light, ranging from polished golden yellow to warmer amber tones, a hallmark of correct maturation in the field and perfect dehydration.

In its natural state, the product expresses a very rich and lively vegetal olfactory profile. Sweet notes and delicate herbaceous scents emerge immediately to the nose, with soft aromatic nuances that faithfully reflect the characteristics of the soil, without the interference of artificial flavourings.

The supply chain is fully tracked in Italy and relies on traditional agricultural methods handed down over time, excluding the use of synthetic chemicals or preservatives during the post-harvest phase. The natural and balanced chemical composition of the biomass ensures a consistent quality standard.
