Essential Oils

Essential Oil is the most important component of an aromatic plant. It is possible to extract it from different parts of the plant, depending on the type: we use only the flowers of the lavender; flowers and leaves of the Hyssopus, leaves and young branches of laurel; etc… The process to obtain essential oil from the plants cultivated in our farm is called Straight Steam Method. That means that only water steam is used during this distillation, nothing more. The steam, passing through the vegetable material, gives off the aromatic particles, which concentrate in a condenser. At the end of the process we obtain two products: Essential Oils and Aromatic Water, which, due to different specific weights, will be separated using a particular instrument.

After gathering the vegetable material in the best balsamic period, we proceed with the distillation as soon as possible from the harvest in order to prevent the essence, volatile part par excellence, to be lost.
Essential oils, depending on the plants they come from, may have different properties and character-istics.
