The aim of the project is to develop an industrially producible bio-sourced varnish based on gum rosin and linseed oil, inspired by the ancient know-how of the violin maker Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737). The difficulty is to meet the specifications of an industrial manufacture while achieving high performance of the varnish.

Wild Mushrooms & Truffles
Nectariss aims to create the ultimate truffle flavour from real truffles, addressing three main problems of truffle products:
the lack of authenticity of existing truffle aromas
Aromatic & Medicinal Plants
• Establish, by compilation of data obtained from collectors and producers, a list of plant species picked for artisanal or industrial production chains,
• Referencing these
Resins
The traditional method of resin tapping is a very time-consuming activity since it requires the resin tapper to visit each tree every 10 to 15 days
