ChialvaMentaPeppermint is at the heart of ChialvaMenta’s production. Five generations of the family have been cultivating and managing the supply chain of this herb for which Pancalieri is famous. Growers since 1865 and distillers since 1926, they represent the oldest family business still operating in the processing of Pancalieri mint. Thanks to this activity, the name Chialva is known internationally and offers several product lines. Syrups, liqueurs, herbal teas and sweets are just some examples of the extensive and varied production. They also produce dried medicinal plants such as wormwood, eschscholzia, lespedeza, lemon balm, passionflower and clary sage, as well as a line of essential oils like Roman chamomile and, of course, peppermint, a natural anti-inflammatory composed mainly of menthol. This type of mint originated in northern Europe but has now found its ideal habitat in the Pancalieri area.
