The Distillery
Once harvested, lavender and other herbs grown on the farm are placed in steel baskets and sealed into stills.Steam is passed through the herb which vaporises the essential oils found in the flowers and leaves. The vapour is cooled in a condenser and the distillate is collected in a flask where the oil separates naturally from the distilled water. The precious essential oil is then tapped off and stored away carefully. There is a continuous VIDEO PRESENTATION which shows all the stages of production.
