The basil essential oil we produce comes directly from our herb fields in Bulgaria. The oil produced in this part of the country is known for both its quality and its fragrance.
Typically clear with a light lemon to bright yellow-green colour, the liquid has a strong, sweet scent with a slight touch of anise.
Entirely sourced from our own fields, the fresh Ocimum basilicum leaves are steam distilled in our own distillery in order to produce this 100% pure and natural organic product.
