To generate value in the field and connecting farmers with brands and companies, promoting ecological and socially responsible practices.

To lead the development of respectful and socially responsible solutions, promoting sustainable practices in different sectors.

It all starts with the cultivation of the seed of the variety known as Persicaria tinctoria. At Tintoremus, we generate our own seed, manage all the plantations and carry out the different cuts. Once the plant is cut, the leaves are transported to the extraction center so that the pigment extraction process begins.

We place the cut Indigo leaves in pools of water for approximately 24 hours and maintain them at a specific temperature to begin the fermentation process.

We remove the leaves from the fermentation pools, they become compost and we transfer the excess water to our oxygenation pools. It is at this moment when we add natural lime and begin the process of oxygenation of the mixture.

The mixture (already oxygenated) passes from the oxygenation pools to a filter press. The objective of filtering is to retain the pigment and separate it from the excess water, which contains indirubin with anti-inflammatory properties. After the entire process and after a drying period, we obtain the final pigment, first in paste form and later solidified.
