Olive: Rhamnus alaternus or mediterranean buckthorn, foraged in the forests of the estate. Cydonia oblonga, commonly known as quince and obtained from the leaves of the trees in the Son Moragues orchard. Salvia rosmarinus, commonly known as rosemary, picked from the Son Moragues garden.

Note: Natural dyes can be very sensitive when in contact with substances with a high pH, such as a drop of lemon or vinegar. This might cause a permanent stain. If this ever happens, we recommend you follow our motto and "embrace the stain!"
