Description

Our natural walnut leaf hydrolate for foods comes from the species with the botanical name Juglans regia. The distillate is offered under the name Walnut Leaf natural hydrolate for food. The Bulgarian origin and natural cultivation keep the plant mass free of compounds foreign to it, which is why the composition of the distillate remains close to the original raw material. The kinship of the species leads to the Juglandaceae family. The leaf part of the plant is processed, which carries the volatile substances and sets the light tone of the finished liquid. The product is obtained by steam distillation, and this extraction method keeps the aromatic profile close to the character of the original leaf mass. The form of the product remains liquid and clear. Colorless and slightly greenish outline the color range. The strength of the scent remains mild, and its type combines a slight tartness, a woody base and a herbal note. Pinene, germacrene, caryophyllene and limonene lead among the volatile constituents of the leaves and outline the tart-woody direction of the liquid. Preservatives and colorants have no place in the composition of the distillate. Natural cultivation determines the pure composition, and the leaf raw material gives the finished distillate its light greenish tone. Therefore, steam extraction keeps the strength of the aroma at a mild level and preserves the herbal side of the original plant mass in the final liquid form. More precisely, the link between the part used and the color explains why the liquid remains light and clear. The large odd-pinnate leaves carry several lateral leaflets together with one terminal leaflet, which sets the appearance of the entire plant part before the extraction itself. The walnut leaves yield a clear natural liquid with a light tone and a mild scent.
