Collection of Juniper

Since its foundation by Englishman John Webb in 1793, the company has been involved in the export of botanicals and other agricultural products. Using known and trusted contacts in his native country, Webb dedicated himself to the export of botanicals etc for the gin and spirit producers to both the united kingdom and united states of America. In fact, a price list dated 1805 exists in a museum in Rhode Island. Traditional products, such as juniper berries and orris root powder were collected in the Tuscany region, together with other typical items like licorice from Calabria and orange peels from Sicily. Other botanicals such as coriander, angelica root, cassia and so on were also traded. Business has always usually been conducted through major importers in the united kingdom such as Burkett Sharp, G.w. Hilden, Brome & Schimmer and, more recently, Sparks White, and Evans Gray & Hood etc.; some of these companies have not been active for some time. Ingredients are brought to and processed in our factory in Leghorn then stored in our warehouse as in the past. Every week we select the best samples from the various batches we receive and send them directly to distillers for “nosing tests"
