This beautiful oil is water distilled, to protect the delicate flowers, and aroma. The petals are picked (very early in the morning - to maximise the oil content), and placed into a vat of water, which is heated to release the essential oil. This process produces Rose Otto and Rose Water. Rose oil Bulgarian is produced to a very high and consistent quality standard and is the finest and fullest of the Rose oils.
