Herbal quality and culture
Sandemetrio Opificio Erboristico transforms the best medicinal plants into semi-finished and finished products of high quality: infusions, teas, herbal teas, and food supplements.
The herb factory is based in Specchia, at the heart of Italy’s Salento region, where interrupted views sweep across the horizon.
The inspiration for the name Sandemetrio comes from the life of the legendary Friar Demetrius, who lived in these same places, taking care of the land, and devoting himself completely to the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
The foundations of the company, owned by the entrepreneur Giuseppe Ricchiuto, were laid in the fertile, clayey land of Italy’s Salento region, the same land that nourishes all the natural raw materials that go into making Sandemetrio products..
