This English lavender is grown at an altitude of 500-1,500m in the Kazanlak region of northern Bulgaria, an area famous for its lavender cultivation. The climate in this region offers optimal growing conditions for the native lavender; the hot days and cold nights allow the lavender buds to fully develop their aromas and other valuable compounds, which is why only the fresh buds are harvested for use in the distillation of this essential oil.
This essential oil is sourced from a renowned and certified producer based in Valréas in northern Provence, France. The company was founded in 1980 and owns several essential oil plantations and farms all over the world. The origin and quality of the plants are well documented, and the company ensures that the highest standards are maintained and works professionally and passionately to produce excellent essential oils.
The oils are produced from freshly harvested plant materials via steam distillation. The experienced producers use a very gentle distillation method with low water pressure, which allows for the near complete extraction of the plants' valuable phytochemicals. Their products are certified organic according to French EcoCert standards.
English lavender belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and has a compact, bush-like shape. The leaves are grey-green and the buds bloom pale to dark purple on 8cm long stems. The shape as well as scent of lavender is dependent on the elevation at which it grows. While English lavender originates from the Mediterranean region, the Kazanlak plain in Bulgaria has become famous for the thriving lavender plants cultivated there.
The aromatic, floral lavender scent, with its herbaceous notes, has a balancing and calming effect on the mind as well as the skin. Its mild aroma promotes feelingd of security and can soothingly accompany you into sleep.
