Petal-by-petal pressing

Up to 6 months

Petal-by-petal pressing

This is where the magic happens and the part that cannot be rushed. Every petal, leaf and sprig is pressed individually under controlled temperature and humidity conditions.

After preservation, the flowers are also frozen to eliminate any insects that may still be present.
