Essential Oil Lolipops
Flowerpop is a bold conceptual artwork revealing a global paradox: over 50,000 edible plants exist, yet we eat less than 200, and 75% of our food comes from just 12 species. Honoring Dalmatia’s ancestral resilience—where people survived without fertile land or doctors, guided by deep herbal knowledge—this piece turns the simple lollipop into a poetic critique of biodiversity loss and a tribute to plant-based survival wisdom.
TASTE THE TRADITION
Local Herbalism Reimagined
​
Our handcrafted transparent lollipops capture the spirit of the Poljica region, blending the crystal-clear sweetness of isomalt with the healing power of wild medicinal herbs.
Each lollipop is a tiny masterpiece, infused with edible essential oils and adorned with delicate, locally sourced plants, showcasing the vibrant flora that defines this land.
​
In Poljica, the tradition of foraging and savoring wild edible plants thrives, rooted in centuries of wisdom. While the world consumes less than 1% of its edible plant species (approximately 150–200 out of an estimated 50,000), Poljica’s people embrace a richer diversity, gathering over 80 varieties of wild herbs for food and remedies.
​
“Flowerpops” are meticulously crafted using isomalt, a sugar substitute that ensures dazzling clarity, allowing the beauty of wild herbs to shine through.
Infused with our blend of edible essential oils, these treats offer a gentle medicinal touch, reflecting the region’s belief in nature’s healing power.
Poljica’s cuisine is a testament to simplicity, where a few potent herbs elevate every dish. Unlike spice-heavy cuisines, here, less is more. Our lollipops embody this philosophy, using minimal yet impactful ingredients. A hint of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) for its antiseptic properties or sage (Salvia officinalis) for digestion transforms each bite into a moment of wellness.
Other local treasures, such as lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) for its calming effects, rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) for its antioxidant benefits, and myrtle (Myrtus communis) for its anti-inflammatory qualities, further enrich this sensory experience.​​
Our products mirror this philosophy, using minimal yet impactful ingredients. A hint of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) for its antiseptic qualities or sage (Salvia officinalis) for digestion transforms each bite into a moment of wellness.
These “flowerpops” are a celebration of Poljica’s aromatic treasures, from the golden blooms of immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) to the fragrant leaves of bay laurel (Laurus nobilis).
