Cultivating and Harvesting Rosemary: A Practical Guide by our team
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a fragrant herb prized for its essential oil. Here's how to grow and harvest it for oil production:
- Ideal Conditions: Plant rosemary in sunny spots with well-drained soil. It likes warmth and can handle dry spells once established.
- Planting: Use cuttings for quicker growth. Spring is best, after the last frost.
- Care Tips: Trim regularly to keep it bushy and boost oil content. Water sparingly to prevent root rot.
- Harvesting: Pick when in full bloom, usually in early summer. Cut just above the woody part. Dry leaves naturally or with a dehydrator.
- Oil Making: Steam-distill the dried leaves to extract rosemary essential oil. It's a process of controlled heating and cooling.
Sharing these tips helps farmers and enthusiasts produce top-notch rosemary oil sustainably. It's a win-win for quality and eco-friendly farming.
How we manufacture Rosemary oil?
Once harvested, the rosemary is transported to our distillation facility. The fresh branches are quickly processed to preserve their strong aromatic compounds. The primary method we use for extracting rosemary oil is steam distillation, a traditional yet highly effective technique.
- Preparation: The rosemary branches are cleaned and sorted to remove any impurities. This step is essential to ensure that the final oil is pure and of the highest quality.
- Steam Distillation: The prepared rosemary is placed in a distillation chamber. Steam is then passed through the plant material, causing the essential oils to evaporate. These vaporized oils are carried along with the steam into a cooling system.
- Condensation: In the cooling system, the steam and oil vapor are condensed back into liquid form. This mixture of water and essential oil is collected in a separator.
- Separation: The essential oil, being lighter than water, floats on top and is carefully removed off. This process results in pure rosemary oil, ready for further refinement and packaging.
Quality Control
At Aromatic & Allied, ensuring quality is our highest priority. Every batch of rosemary oil undergoes rigorous testing to meet our exacting standards. We conduct thorough physical and chemical analyses to verify the oil's purity, effectiveness, and consistency. This commitment guarantees that our customers receive only the finest rosemary oil. Additionally, our oil is tested by a third-party lab to further ensure its quality and authenticity.
Packaging and Exporting
Once our rosemary oil passes our stringent quality checks, it's ready for packaging. We use steel drums to protect the oil from light, which can affect its quality over time. Each drum is sealed to maintain freshness and labeled with detailed information such as batch number, manufacturing date, company name, and delivery location.
