About Soria Natural
Soria Natural
Soria Natural is a Spanish family business that has been developing high-quality phytotherapeutic food supplements since 1982. The company owns more than 750 hectares of organic plantations located in the highlands of the province of Soria, Spain.
The area lies at an altitude of 1200 meters, is free from pollution, and is one of the least populated regions in Western Europe (9 inhabitants per km²). The environment includes 5000 km² of pine forests and is surrounded by mountain ranges that protect the area from external pollution. This ecosystem contributes to higher quality raw materials. The harsh mountain climate and the short life cycle of the plants result in a higher concentration of active compounds.
These plants are processed by the company itself using the latest technologies.
High-quality raw materials
Soria Natural uses plants and vegetables sourced from its own organic plantations to produce a wide range of high-quality plant-based preparations. These plantations, covering more than 750 hectares, are located in an unspoiled and pollution-free area at 1200 meters altitude, surrounded by protective mountain ranges.
More than 70 different plant species are cultivated under optimal conditions. Thanks to maintaining ecological balance and harvesting at the right time, the raw materials contain a high concentration of active ingredients. The crops are irrigated with rainwater and spring water through a sustainable system, while the soil is enriched with compost made from recycled plant material after the extraction process.
