What is cork ?

The precious and versatile vegetable tissue know as cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree, not the trunk,as people might think.

The tree quickly forms new layers of cork and restore its protective barrier.

It is very light, yet impermeable to liquids and gases,elastic and compressible, an excellent insulator, fireproof and resistant to abrasion.

Above all, it is completely natural, renewable and recyclable.

Villani Leonello is an expert in the manufacturing of cork for the textile industry.
