Every farfalla product relies on the efficacy of pure, natural essential oils. These oils are sourced from organic farming projects worldwide, carefully selected according to strict quality and sustainability criteria . Long-standing partnerships in over 45 countries – such as our mountain lavender project in the Cévennes – ensure exceptional quality. Their use in numerous hospitals and care facilities confirms this.
In our Swiss laboratories, we precisely analyze each essential oil for its biochemical composition and absolute purity, which is reflected in the BBDÄÖ label (botanically and biochemically defined essential oil).

Swiss quality promise
Produced in our own family factory
We produce almost exclusively in our own production facilities in Switzerland , at two ISO/GMP - certified locations in Uster (ZH) and Bassecourt (JU). This allows us to guarantee the highest possible quality along the entire value chain.
100% natural
Uncompromising quality
Farfalla uses exclusively natural ingredients, sourced from certified organic farming wherever possible. The BBDÄÖ quality guarantees a " botanically and biochemically defined essential oil" : cultivation method, origin, botany, and extraction are clearly defined, and residue analyses, laboratory tests, and GC/MS analysis confirm this.
Homegrown
Peppermint and lavender from the Zurich Oberland
In addition to our own production, we have a local cultivation project right on our doorstep: Together with the Wagerenhof Foundation, we cultivate organic fields of lavender and peppermint in Uster. and operate their own distillery on site. The collaboration with Wagerenhof is a stroke of luck, as the Uster-based institution offers meaningful work to people with disabilities.
Our label "Grand Cru"
Fair partnerships – on equal terms worldwide
"Grand Cru" is our clear commitment to "more than organic." With this label, we distinguish essential oils that go far beyond organic standards. They stand not only for exceptional quality, organic wild harvesting, or organic cultivation, but also for added social value: Many of our Grand Cru cultivation partners are involved in projects for the local people – be it through fair employment, education, or the support of local communities.
Freshness
Guaranteed fresh from the field
Essential oils are complex, delicate compounds, mostly obtained through steam distillation from various parts of plants. Their quality is influenced by numerous factors – from distillation and storage to bottling and transport. We source our essential oils directly after harvesting from long-standing, trusted growing partners . They are carefully analyzed by us and bottled as quickly as possible – for maximum freshness and optimal composition.
