In short

It's not food: it's a skin cream. The company's catalog describes it as a handmade natural cream combining their olive oil and beeswax with St. John's wort, bay leaf, and mugwort.

St. John's wort is what gives it its color: its flowers, steeped in oil, dye it red, and it is this red that you see in the open jar. At room temperature, the cream remains firm — the beeswax holds it together — and softens upon contact with the skin. Thirty-gram metal jar with a press-on lid.

How to use it, how to keep it

Origin
Country of origin: Italy. Produced and packaged in Montevarchi (AR).
The farm

La Foresta

A farm in Montevarchi, in the Valdarno: since 2021 it has been bringing back almost four hundred centuries-old olive trees left abandoned for years, grown without chemical treatments and converting to certified organic. The olives are picked by hand and cold pressed within a few hours. Beside the groves an apiary of more than fifty hives, stationary beekeeping: hive care, harvesting, extraction, jarring and packing are all done on the farm, by hand.
