We Continue Our Visit to Corsica: Discovering Tenuta Amuredda

In our ongoing exploration of the beauties and hidden treasures of Corsica, we had the privilege of visiting several distilleries that embody the authentic soul of the island. Among these, the Tenuta Amuredda captured our attention and our hearts. The story and passion behind this distillery are fascinating and deserve to be told.

The Magic of Tenuta Amuredda

Tenuta Amuredda, whose name means "Domain of the Immortal" in French, is a tribute to the Immortelle, an emblematic flower of Corsica. This flower, with its golden color, adorns the island's Mediterranean scrub every summer. The passion for this extraordinary plant inspired Marina and Stephan, the founders of the estate, to dedicate their lives to its cultivation and distillation.

A Life Project and Love for Nature

Our adventure at Tenuta Amuredda allowed us to understand the love and dedication behind each product. It all began in 2004, when the founders decided to plant the first Immortelle. The growing demand and unreasonable harvesting in the wild had made this plant increasingly rare. To preserve Corsica's natural resources, they embarked on the path of cultivating Immortelle.

A Warm Welcome and Professional Advice

During our visit, we were warmly welcomed by the owners. Their hospitality and professionalism are evident in every detail. Not only did they show us their farm, but they also offered advice on how to best use their products. Every visitor can feel part of a big family, united by a passion for nature and well-being.

Artisanal Quality Production

Tenuta Amuredda is synonymous with high quality and craftsmanship. Marina and Stephan are a passionate couple dedicated to their profession. Marina is involved in aromatherapy and the production of cosmetic products in her laboratory. Stephan, on the other hand, focuses on the cultivation of 13 different aromatic plants and their low-pressure distillation.

The production of essential oils and other products takes place entirely in the estate's laboratory, ensuring strict control over every stage of the process. This artisanal approach ensures that every product is of the highest quality and organic.
