Production
Our naturally derived peppermint essential oil for drinks is produced in Bulgaria, where the climatic and soil conditions provide an ideal environment for growing high-quality peppermint. The plant is cultivated using natural agricultural practices that exclude chemical agents and rely on nature-based methods for maintaining crop health and biodiversity. After harvesting the aerial parts of the plant, the process of steam distillation follows, which is the most suitable method for extracting essential oils with high purity and a maximally preserved aromatic profile. The result is an oil with stable physico-chemical properties and a concentrated aroma suitable for food and drink applications. Peppermint essential oil is stored in dark glass bottles ranging from 0.010 to 0.500 kg, protecting the product from light and oxidation. Larger quantities—ranging from 1 to 180 kg—are stored in aluminum bottles, cans, or barrels, providing the same level of protection and stability during transport and storage. Each batch undergoes quality control in certified laboratories, including analysis of composition, aroma profile, microbiological purity, and the absence of heavy metals or synthetic contaminants.

The production is fully traceable and guaranteed sustainable, with care for the environment, consumer health, and the quality of the final product.
