Fermentation is an ancient technique that uses micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi to naturally transform food (yoghurt, cheese, kombucha, beer, wine, bread). This method has been practiced for thousands of years by every culture; enhancing flavors, changing the molecules of organisms, and extending shelf life. The fermentation process was first described by alchemists in the “Nigredo" (or black) phase, and has ever since grown into a timeless and borderless tradition all over the world.
Hydro distillation is an ancient extraction method that relies on the properties of water and steam to extract essential oils and other aromatic compounds from certain plants & herbs. By immersing plant materials in water and applying heat, the process gently releases the natural essences. Practiced for centuries, hydro-distillation remains a cornerstone in the production of perfumes, natural remedies, and wellness products. This time consuming process requires an abundance of botanicals to result in the intense Opius flavour profiles.
"Solvent extraction" is a process which consists of separating certain components of a mixture using a solvent. The solvent is chosen according to its capacity to selectively dissolve specific substances while leaving other components intact. Once the target substances are dissolved in the solvent, they can then be collected through evaporation or other separation methods. This method, first described by alchemists in the early ages, takes up to 4 weeks for every Opius batch.
Tinctures are an other alchemical practice first described by alchemists in the "Magnum Opus". This technique was used for centuries to extract essential oils and active compounds from botanicals. Tinctures are mostly used in the world of "perfumery", and is rooted in ancient wisdom which believed it to capture the “spirit” of the plant. In ancient Egypt these techniques were used to create life enhancing & potent herbal remedies. These reflected the harmony between nature and men.
