Overview: Rose absolute from Bulgaria is a highly valued essential oil solvent extracted from the Damask rose (Rosa damascena), also known as the Bulgarian rose. It is famous for its intense and captivating floral fragrance, making it a popular ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and aromatherapy products. Though there are many regions in Bulgaria that produce roses, the industry standard is the rose grown in the Kazanlak region. The Kazanlak Valley, located in central Bulgaria, is well-known for its unique climate and soil conditions, which are particularly suitable for cultivating the Damask rose. The region’s combination of mild temperatures, high humidity, and specific soil composition contributes to the rose’s exceptional aroma and therapeutic properties. The production of rose absolute is an intricate and labour-intensive process. During the peak flowering season, usually in late spring or early summer, skilled harvesters handpick the rose blossoms early in the morning when the oil concentration is at its highest. This method ensures the finest quality of the absolute. Once harvested, the rose petals undergo solvent extraction. We as a group, import the concrete directly from Bulgaria and final production happens in our ISO certified facility in Italy. The yield is very low, 400 kilograms of flowers give 1 kilogram of absolute. The Bulgarian rose absolute is highly sought after for its exquisite scent, which is often described as floral, sweet, and luxurious. Besides its aromatic uses in perfumery and beauty products, rose absolute is also prized for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as promoting relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety, and supporting emotional well-being. Due to the intricate and demanding process of production and the limited growing area, Bulgarian rose absolute can be relatively expensive and known for high levels of adulteration. Hence buy it from a reliable source. The product we supply complies with flavouring preparation in EU as per council directive 1334/2008
