It is more than 100 years ago that the Mari Mayans family began to collect
recipes and study the effects of different herbs in order to develop a product
that became a brand name: 'Hierbas Ibicencas'.The typical aroma comes from a
mixture of the leaves, fruits and seeds of 18 plants, which are very good for
digestion. Rosemary and thyme are used, accompanied by juniper berries, mountain
mint and of course aniseed.

According to Juan Mari Mayans, the secret of producing a high quality Hierba
lies in the special treatment of these ingredients, in the extraction of only
the purest aroma of each plant. Only after each extract has been individually
tested for quality can the blending process begin.

This wonderful Ibicencan liqueur, distilled from local herbs and plants, is not
only the perfect accompaniment to a leisurely dinner to aid digestion, it is
also famous for its universal healing powers.

The liqueur is based on alcohol, seasoned with aniseed, thyme, rosemary, lemon
and orange peel and many other 'secret' ingredients.
