1 quart Organic Lavender Essential Oil & 5 gallons Organic Lavender Hydrosol from Persinger Family Provence variety Lavender Gardens.

Our lavender products are produced by Sonoma Aroma Distillery. The distillation process at Sonoma Aroma is steam distillation. Each plant has its natural time to harvest depending on climate, soil, and what elements of the plant you are trying to preserve. When a steam fills the pot, rising like water, it causes the glands of the plants to burst and release the oils and essence of the plant into the steam. The steam flows up into the top of the condenser and down into the condenser tubes, which becomes liquid, or hydrosol. This hydrosol carries the oil and flows into the separator where the oil, bubbles to the top and is taken off. Hydrosol is quite valuable, it contains micromolecules of the plant. It is a combination of plant and water and one cannot be separated from the other.
