- Company Name : Aboca S.p.A.
- About Us : Aboca is an agricultural company located near Florence in the beautiful Tuscan Valley of Valtiberina. From the very beginning, Aboca has strongly believed in combining the latest technology with the ancient science of herbal remedies to find new solutions for a modern world. In order to bring the true quality and purity of herbs to the modern consumer, the company created a complete in-house production process, from the seeds through to the finished product. The success of this strategy and company philosophy have placed Aboca among the foremost companies in this sector. The company's facilities include two centers of production for a total of 170,000 square feet, each equipped with the latest technologies; more than 1700 acres of organic cultivation; and a specialized chemistry laboratory. On staff are 300 employees. All of this along with the ownership of process patents makes Aboca Italy's business leader in the natural health products sector, both in terms of know-how and sales. Approximately 60 species of medicinal herbs are cultivated on Aboca S.p.A. lands, while another 20 species are wildcrafted by our employees. The agricultural phase begins with the selection of seeds and starters with a view to their propagation and multiplication. If necessary, this can take place in specially created protected environments. Then follows working the fields, transplanting or direct seeding, fertilizing, irrigation, the control of insects and pathogens, harvesting and cleaning. The bulk of the harvesting is done with the use of specific machines, while a small portion is harvested by hand. After the harvest, the fresh product is sent to a climate-controlled setting during the drying phase. This is carried out with special equipment that dehydrates the product and locks in the active ingredients at the time of harvest. In compliance with the regulations of organic production, much attention is given to the control of insects-mechanically and manually-to organic and mineral fertilization, to the rotation of crops, and to maintaining the fertility of the soil. Organic farming methods are regulated by the Consortium for the Control of Organic Products, authorized (www.ccpb.it) by regulation CEE 2092/91 for the control and certification of Organic Farming companies. A fundamental agronomic goal is to obtain highly therapeutic medicinal herbs through the selection of specific varieties with the greatest content of active ingredients. Following the selection of genetically interesting varieties, the department of Research and Development studies the chemical properties of the varieties in question and thoroughly researches their various possible medicinal applications. The entire agricultural sector follows the norms of GAP (good agricultural practice), which allows for a clearer designation of the raw material. The guarantee of product quality is also provided by certificates of analysis with which all the specific data and properties of a predetermined species of medicinal herb are communicated.
