Description
Our natural juniper needle essential oil for foods is obtained from the species Juniperus communis. The product is offered under the name Juniper needle natural essential oil for food. Behind the name stands a raw material with clear advantages. The advantages begin with the purity of the aromatic profile, which comes from steam distillation, because the method transfers the volatile carriers of the fragrance without alteration and thus preserves fidelity to the plant source. The source is also evident in the next advantage of the oil. The advantages continue with the composition, which comprises only natural compounds of the plant. Neither preservatives nor colourants enter the composition, since under a natural cultivation regime the plantations grow on open areas, far from synthetic auxiliary substances. The cultivation regime is also evident in the homogeneous liquid consistency, which the product retains throughout its volume. The consistency is accompanied by a light yellow to yellowish-green colour. The colour comes from the pigments in the needles themselves, which serve as the only plant part in the extraction. The needles also carry a strong aroma, in which freshness passes into resinous and herbal tones typical of the volatile substances of the coniferous raw material. The tones lead to the plant source, namely an evergreen coniferous shrub of the family Cupressaceae. The family unites slow-growing species with narrow needle-like leaves arranged in threes around the twig. The shrubs whose needles provide the raw material thrive in Bulgaria, and the species occupies the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere with the most varied soil and climatic conditions. The range places the species among the most widely distributed coniferous plants on the planet. Juniper oil retains an expressive resinous density.
