Origin of raw materials
Blueberries grow in clusters and range in size from the equivalent of a small pea to the equivalent of a marble. They have an intense color that ranges from blue, brown and black-purple and include soft gray-white flowers that cover the surface of the berries and serve as a protective layer. The skin surrounds a semi-transparent integument, which surrounds small seeds.
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a lively plant, cultivated or sub spontaneous in our country, which can grow up to 80 cm in height and 50 cm in diameter. It was introduced a long time ago in Europe, from Western Asia, and it is common to find it close to houses, on paths, hedges, slopes, even next to vineyards. Also known as melissa or citronella minor, its leaves, when manipulated, release a strong and pleasant aroma of sweet lemon. Despite being resistant to the cold, its aerial part can even disappear completely during the winter.
