Cork it is much more than fashion.

I have talked about cork and how it has influenced our lives. 

Cork has numerous beneficial interactions in our lives, and it is impossible to describe them all at once. For that very reason, I want to share my passion with all of you, in episodes, the wonders of salubrious that Cork has to offer.

Suber Cork. Composed of small alveoli in the form of fourteen side's polyhedron.Cork is composed of small alveoli, in the form of fourteen side’s polyhedron.
Packed at a density that can be run to 40 million per cubic centimetre, the alveoli are separated from one another by a wall consisting of three layers:

- The woody layer (woody), giving it structure
- Surrounded by a layer suberose layer (Corky)
- Layer cellulose.

The suberine, a complex mixture of fatty acids and heavy organic alcohols is the basic substance of cork. Impermeable to gases and liquids, is also resistant to fire, insects, and is not affected by water. The tannic acid further diminishes any drift towards natural deterioration, making cork a product virtually indestructible. Is perfectly understandable that they live (cork oaks) for 5 centuries or more.
