SourcingFirmenich sources Cardamom in Guatemala thanks to its Joint Venture in Central & Latin America, with Nelixia, leader of Cardamom EO and #NaturalsTogether partner.
Along Nelixia and a local NGO, Firmenich has implemented a long-term sourcing project on a responsible and traceable basis. The focus is on Cerro san Gil area, a natural reserve where deforestation is critical. The project managed to reach 100% of traceability, to increase local communities’ empowerment and incomes by reorganizing the supply chain without external intermediaries and establishing a drying facility easily accessible for Q'eqchis communities.
Trees have been planted for reforestation, offering a diversification of revenues for farmers and shade for cardamom fields, which increases the crop yield.
Much more typical than conventional essentiol oil, this SFE extract brings freshness in spice blends and complexity to citrus flavors such as grapefruit
