Verbena, the magic plant
At Terroir-06, Guilhem CODERA, under the expert guidance of his grandfather Eugène MARIO, himself a former farmer, grows lemon verbena, a type of scented verbena. https://www.terroir-06.fr
Around our gites www.locations-06.fr are our crops.
You can discover Guilhem’s good products on his website www.terroir-06.fr where he proposes, in particular, from his verbena cultures 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 panacotta.
– verbena syrup, very refreshing in summer.
– verbena hydrosol: good for the skin.
– dried verbena: to make infusions
– verbena candles: to create a zen-like fragrance.
– verbena essential oil: calming and soothing
– the preparation of honey with verbena: the green delicacy of verbena combined with sweet acacia honey creates a festival in the taste buds…
Organic verbena from Guilhem Codera
Guilhem Codera’s verbena is ORGANIC and his processed products are #natural #local made from organic sugar without colorants, additives, preservatives… (www.terroir-06.fr).
We plant verbena in autumn and 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 destined for the luxury perfume industry, and the rest for TERROIR-06 production.
So maybe now when we say #VERVEINE, you’ll imagine Guilhem in his field in the Pays de Grasse, Côte d’Azur, France.
