Our Rosemary essential oil is steam distilled from the aromatic Rosemary shrub which has leathery, needle-like leaves and tiny, pale blue flowers growing in Turkey. We need around 50 kg of the tiny leaves to receive one kg of essential oil.
The name Rosemary is coming from the Latin Rosmarianus what means: dew of the sea
