The process of herbal infusion has been utilized for centuries among some of the world’s earliest civilizations for cooking and medicinal practice. Today, it’s often found behind-the-scenes as the secret sauce of restaurant chefs and your favorite skincare brands. By extracting the components of the whole plant, the full spectrum of superior nutritional, therapeutic and medicinal benefits of infusions can be realized.

For many of us, store-bought options are increasingly limited as more products marketed as “natural” are over-processed and riddled with additives. At a minimum, most products infused with herbs contain solvents of some kind. With LĒVO, there’s no such need! Healthy ingredients; healthy infusions. No fine print.

What is the process of infusion, and why is it done with herbs and botanicals? LĒVO is specifically designed for just that...

The LĒVO Difference

LĒVO's patented technology is designed exclusively for infusing botanicals into oil and butter. With dishwasher safe components, there’s no more messy straining or clean up. No emulsifiers, solvents or additives required to infuse. No fixed temperature and time settings, allowing you complete creative freedom over your recipe. To top it off, our gentle infusion method doesn’t aerate your ingredients, increasing the shelf life of your infused product.
