About us

In 2014 we resumed an investment project, which originally began in the 1980s, collaborating with a Croatian company that has been our partner for more than 40 years.

The Croatian region of Podravina, famous for the cultivation of chamomile, extends close to the border with Hungary for a length of about 100 km and a width of about 50 km. Here, also thanks to the soil, chamomile has a sweeter taste than the one coming from other areas, which has a more bitter taste.

Thanks to the particular geographical position of the fields, our chamomile does not need neither fertilizers nor pesticides during the growth cycle, which guarantees a high quality. The sowing takes place in September, while the harvest takes place in May and June.

We started with the sowing of chamomile on an area of 65 hectares, to reach the current 2,000 hectares. These fields had been abandoned for years, therefore free from pesticides and other preparations used for the cultivation of products such as corn etc.

Eighteen new dryers have been installed, dedicated exclusively to drying chamomile and no other products such as tobacco etc.

To process the dried chamomile, we have a completely new closed system, which starts with the cutting of the stem, continues with the elimination of all impurities such us sand, insects or any metals by using magnets, fans and sieves, and ends with the separation of the sieved part from the rest, organizing the packaging in cartons as regards the flower and in kraft bags as regards the sieved chamomile.

The new crop begins to be available in the middle of June.

Our customers are the largest and best-known chamomile packers and extractors nationwide.

We process and package various components of the precious plant: the flower head – flower, delivered without stem and therefore considered pure flower head; the sifted; grass or esbo; the whole grass; the ligule; the fine cut; chamomile hay and chamomile hay in pellets.

“Chamomile has been used as an herbal remedy since the time of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, in 500 BC. “
