Olive pips for a good night's sleep
A Córdoba company, Charcolive, has started to manufacture and sell pillows containing charred olive pips. The idea comes from a Japanese tradition and the pillows are claimed to help sleep as olive pips are able to absorb odours, avoid allergies, and help avoid back complaints.
The idea came from Rafael Pérez after a trip to Japan where more than 90 hotels have such pillows available a la carte.
His company can now produce as many as 45,000 pillows a year, although starting levels are just 5,000.
He describes the pillows as a 100% natural product and they sell at between 150 and 170 € each. Exports back to Japan are expected to start shortly.
