DEVELOPING PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR OVER 40 YEARS

Propolia's journey began in 1978 under the initiative of Marc-Alain Bernard,, during his studies at Montpellier (France) University, Arts and Sciences Department.

After seven captivating years of academia, he left the university to embark on a thrilling venture into beekeeping, a profession that offered freedom, initiative, and a profound connection with nature. Managing up to 600 bee hives, he later established The Salagou Honey Farm in Clermont-l'Hérault (South of France).

Extensive experimental and documentary research conducted by universities and the industrial sector revealed unexpected challenges due to the resinous and impure natural consistency of raw propolis. Raw propolis, containing approximately 40% impurities such as wax, fiber, dead bees, and wood splinters, posed difficulties. The laboratory explored and recognized purification methods, ultimately enabling the production of pure propolis with only usable assets.

The laboratory's initial focus was to standardize the production and transformation process of raw propolis, resulting in various extracts in powder form (PPM30, PPM18, PPM14H) or as alcoholic (EALP, EADP) and non-alcoholic (EGP) liquid extracts.
