TINTOREMUS
TINTOREMUS is an innovative and sustainable project in Spain, focused on the production of natural dyes. We grow, extract and sell natural indigo and other natural dyes from the countryside.
OUR MISSION is to generate value in the countryside and connect farmers with brands and companies, promoting ecological and socially responsible practices.
PROCESS
1. CROP
We generate our own seed, manage all the plantations and carry out the cuts. Once the plant is cut, it is transported to the extraction center so that the entire pigment extraction process begins.
2. FERMENTATION
We place the cut Indigo leaves in a tub of water for 24 hours and maintain it at a specific temperature to begin the fermentation process.
3. ALKALIZATION / OXYGENATION
We remove the leaves (they become compost) and the water goes to smaller tubs, beginning the oxygenation process through the use of water pumps. Later we add natural lime.
4. FILTRATION
We pass through a filter press to retain the pigment and discard the excess water, which contains indirubin with anti-inflammatory properties.
