Haiti produces 50% of the world's vetiver resources and the plant represents the country's principal agricultural export. Nevertheless, the supply chain has many problems that place the raw material at risk: insufficient remuneration for farmers, a speculative market, inconsistent yields, poor harvesting practices causing soil erosion, etc. Albert Vieille chose to become involved in the supply chain by supporting our Haitian partner in its traceability process, improving the supply chain's quality and sustainability so as to preserve an essential raw material.

- Category: Product news
Roman chamomile or Chamaemelum nobile, also known simply as chamomile or English chamomile, is an herbaceous plant with small, delicate, aromatic flowers resembling daisies. The word "chamomile," from the Greekchamaimelon, means "dwarf apple" or "ground apple," referring to the Roman variety's fruity aroma of overripe apple.Indeed, a carpet of blooming chamomile releases the delicious scent of apple when tread upon. After a two-year growing period, the flowers and twigs are harvested in the summer months as the blooms open, in June-July in Italy and in July-August in France. The flower heads are dried and then distilled for eight hours to obtain the essential oil, which captures both their fragrance and virtues.
