CBD production at BergBlüten: from cuttings to the first drop

Since BergBlüten was founded in 2017, our daily goal has been to produce an effective and safe full-spectrum CBD. Our mission is to make hemp without psyochactive components accessible to all two- and four-legged friends in a particularly high-quality form. Our CBD production lays the foundation for this. We have decided to carry out all production steps ourselves, from the cultivation of medicinal hemp to harvesting, CBD production and bottling. In addition to our extensive expertise, we have a solid network of partners to support us in CBD production. Together with the Valais University of Applied Sciences (HES-SO) and PhytoArk, we have developed our 3-mountain process, which allows us to produce CBD oil of the highest purity and with all activated ingredients in the midst of the beautiful hilly landscape of Switzerland, our plants enjoy numerous hours of sunshine, the clear mountain air, pure spring water and thrive on fertile soils.

Our production steps

Briefly explained for you step by step

  • 1 Breeding

    Thanks to our collaboration with Scott Blakey aka Shanti Baba, we can draw on a large gene pool. With over 35 years of experience with cannabis, Scott was one of the first to breed CBD plants. We are proud to produce his strains exclusively in Europe.

  • 2 Rearing

    We propagate our mother plants with care every year. A few plants become fields. Our curing station ensures that the cuttings are optimally prepared for outdoor use. We also only work with organic products in our cultivation.

  • 3 Drying

    Drying the harvest properly is as important as any other phase of cultivation. If a mistake is made in this process, we lose the entire harvest. Mold grows very well in damp and dark places. To avoid this, the flowers must be dried well and any remaining moisture removed.

  • 4 Sort

    During sorting, we divide the harvest into three different quality levels in order to subsequently process the CBD raw material. We only extract the flowers, which is why Handa beit is in demand. The leaves and stems are used for other products.

The 3-Berg process as the most innovative part of the manufacturing process.

As a leading company in the field of CBD products, we have developed the 3-Berg process in collaboration with renowned partners. This enables us to safely produce an active full-spectrum CBD extract.

  • The first peak of the 3-mountain process - extraction

    We break up the hemp flowers briefly and thoroughly using ultrasound to extract the CBD. THC is already contained in our plants only to a small extent. The method for producing a full-spectrum CBD extract was developed together with Professors Piantini and Grogg at the Valais University of Applied Sciences (HES-SO) at the Life Technologies Institute in Sion.

  • The second peak of the 3-mountain method - concentration

    The previously clarified raw extract is now concentrated by evaporation. The exact regulation of time and temperature is important here. We heat the extract just enough to evaporate the liquid, but still retain all the ingredients.

  • The third peak of the 3-mountain method - activation

    What many people do not know or disregard: after concentration, the CBD is in an inactive form. It must therefore be activated during CBD production. In this step of the 3-Berg process, we heat the concentration. Of course, again just enough to retain 100% of the profile.

  • 6 Analyses

    Having your own HPLC measuring device is a must so that you understand what is happening in each step and can be sure that everything is running correctly. To ensure constant control, we check all final patches at the certified interlaboratory in Belp

  • 7 Filling

    The requirements for filling systems are constantly growing. Guidelines for quality assurance of the production processes and environment have top priority here.

CBD production and strong partners

From the very beginning, we have relied on a strong network of partners to support us in CBD production. We work together with the HES-SO University of Applied Sciences Valais and are constantly developing our CBD production together with the company PhytoArk. We have been supported for many years by Prof. Dr. Umberto Piantini, head of the analytical chemistry specialization at the HES-SO and his laboratory team. Our partnership with the Mediplant research and development center rounds off our network.
