Organic verbena from Guilhem Codera
Verbena is a plant that has been known since ancient times. At the time, this herb was considered sacred and was believed to have magical powers. Its nickname “witches’ herb” comes from the various uses it was made of in witchcraft scenes.
Lemon verbena was introduced to Europe by the French naturalist Joseph Dombey, on his return from an expedition to Latin America where the plant was used as an ornamental and aromatic plant.
At Terroir-06, Guilhem CODERA, cultivates lemon verbena, a type of fragrant verbena, under the expert advice of his grandfather Eugène MARIO, himself a former farmer.
Around our lodgings www.locations-06.fr are our cultures.
You can discover Guilhem’s good products on his website www.terroir-06.fr where he offers in particular, from his verbena crops and which are the main uses of Verbena:
– verbena confit which goes brilliantly with a fish terrine or chicken meat. We also love it in a panna cotta.
– verbena syrup, very refreshing in summer
– verbena hydrosol: good for the skin.
– dried verbena: to make infusions
– verbena candles: to create a scented Zen atmosphere.
– verbena essential oil: calming and soothing
– the preparation of verbena honey: the green delicacy of verbena combined with sweet acacia honey creates a festival in the taste buds…
Guilhem Codera’s verbena is organic and its processed products are #natural #local made from organic sugar without colorings, additives, preservatives… (www.terroir-06.fr).
We plant verbena in autumn and then harvest it in August/September in several cuts. It requires water, organic fertilizer, hoeing, good care…and perhaps a lot of passion, the secret ingredient.
Part of the harvest is intended for luxury perfumery and the other for TERROIR-06 productions.
So maybe now when we say #VERBENA, you will imagine Guilhem in his field in Pays de Grasse, Côte d’Azur, France.
