This lavandin is grown according to organic standards by experienced farmers in the Drôme department of France at an elevation of 700–1100m. The temperature, altitude and nutrient-rich soil of the region offer optimal growing conditions for the plant, allowing 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.
We source this essential oil from a renowned and certified producer in the Provençal countryside of Valréas in the north of Provence in France. The company was founded around 1980 and owns plantations and farms with essential oil plants worldwide. The origin and quality of the plants are very well documented. The company works professionally and passionately according to quality standards and with many years of experience.
The oil is extracted by steam distillation directly after harvesting on the farm in compliance with the highest quality standards. Thanks to their many years of experience, the distillers use a particularly gentle distillation process at low water pressure, which leads to an almost complete extraction of the valuable plant substances. Its products are certified with the French organic seal EcoCert.
Lavandin intermedia (Lavandula burnati) belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is a cross between spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia) and English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), with the resulting aroma lying somewhere between both varieties. The lower concentration of esters differentiates it from the otherwise very similar Lavandula hybrida super.
Lavandin grosso grows primarily in Provence (France), the Canary Islands, North East Africa through to South West Asia and India.
The fresh aromas of lavandin vitalise the body and mind, while the subtly woody-floral notes have a calming and nervine effect.
