THE ARTISAN PROCESS

Each single petal is picked by hand and candied using an old artisan process. Between candying stages, the artisan gently opens each petal, one by one, with a toothpick, to help it dry evenly. A patient, meticulous gesture, repeated on every petal, that takes time, precision and great care to preserve its shape, colour and fragrance.
