By supporting our farmers, we ensure their livelihoods are sustained and that they can continue to grow the best basil leaves for our oil.

The Journey from Leaf to Oil

The process of manufacturing basil oil is intricate and requires precision and expertise. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we transform basil leaves into the aromatic oil you love:

Cultivation and Harvesting:

- Our journey begins with selecting the finest basil plants, which are then sown in nutrient-rich soil. The farmers follow sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring the basil plants grow healthy and robust.
- The basil is harvested at the peak of its maturity to ensure the leaves contain the maximum amount of essential oils. This is usually done early in the morning when the oil concentration in the leaves is highest.

Extraction Process:

Steam Distillation: The most common and effective method of extracting basil oil is steam distillation. Freshly harvested basil leaves are placed in a distillation chamber where steam is introduced. The steam breaks down the plant material, releasing the essential oils.
Condensation: The steam carrying the essential oil vapor is then cooled in a condenser. This process turns the vapor back into liquid form, where the essential oil separates from the water.
Collection: The oil is carefully collected and separated from the hydrosol (floral water). This pure basil essential oil is then subjected to quality checks to ensure its purity and potency.

Quality Assurance:

Our quality control team conducts rigorous testing to ensure that the basil oil meets our high standards. This includes checks for purity, potency, and aroma.
Once approved, the oil is carefully packaged to preserve its freshness and aromatic properties.
