Our farm : how it started
Immortelle Helichrysum
Our little story starts during the war in 1940, my father, Xavier fighter name "stamatin" as he was member of the French Corsican resistance responding to the famous Jean Moulin, and was as such walking long distance in the Corsican maquis to fight the occupation.

Stamatin was used, daily, to protect his feet against blisters inserting in his boots "la murza" the plant known today as Helichrysum Italicum. After the war he thought that he could do something for others with the properties of this magical plant that helped him so much.
That's how it all started...
With Julie, my wife, Cornish born from Porthleven, we took over our Corsican farm in 206, taking advantage of 80 second & thrird generationa of Corsican families that used to collect in the wild for my father. We mordernised and restructurated the whole process ,to achieve what we do today with global headquarters in the United Kingdom, Hemel Hempstead.
We produce in Corsica since 1952 with global head-quarters & sales based from the UK since 2007
