Description
We offer organic melissa essential oil for drinks, obtained from the plant with the botanical name Melissa officinalis. The liquid is offered under the name Melissa organic essential oil for drinks. The plant ranks among the members of the Lamiaceae family, and its natural habitat extends from the Mediterranean to Central Asia, where the perennial herbaceous crop still thrives today. The cultivated fields of this species are located in Bulgaria and provide the raw material for our product. The climatic and soil conditions in this country influence the volatile fraction, whose composition varies according to the place and conditions of cultivation. The raw material comprises only the aboveground stalk. The stalk from these fields carries an entirely organic composition, as cultivation takes place without synthetic fertilisers and detergents on the crops. The composition accepts no preservatives and colourants, and its purity relies entirely on the plant material. The plant material undergoes steam distillation, which is why the olfactory profile of the liquid retains its purity and remains true to the original stalk. In addition, the pure volatile fraction retains the sharpness that distinguishes the aroma of the species. The aroma remains sharp in strength and brings together sweet, spicy and slightly citrus nuances. The citrus part of this profile comes from citral, whose isomers lead among the volatile substances of the species and shape its recognisable scent. The consistency remains liquid, and the colour ranges from colourless to pale yellow. The pale shade is due to the aboveground stalk of melissa, which yields a faintly coloured fraction.
