What is Distillation?

Lavender distillation is a process used to extract essential oil from the lavender plant, mainly from its inflorescences. This process uses water vapor to separate the essential oil from plant materials. Below are the main steps in lavender distillation:

1. Harvesting lavender

Lavender plants are generally harvested when the flowers are at their peak bloom, as this is when they contain the greatest amount of essential oils.

 

2. Preparation of lavender

The collected lavender is placed in a distiller, a specific instrument for steam distillation.

 

3. Steam distillation

Water vapor is passed through the lavender mass, the superheated steam comes into contact with the flowers and other parts of the plant, causing the sacs of essential oil contained in the plant tissues to rupture.

 

4. Condensation

The essential oil-laden vapor passes through a cooling coil, where it condenses back into a liquid.

 

5. Separation

The resulting liquid is a mixture of water and essential oil. Since essential oil is less dense than water, it floats on its surface, thus separating the essential oil from the water, i.e. lavender hydrolate, which can also be used for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes.

 

Its benefits

Steam distillation is one of the best methods to keep the chemical and aromatic properties of lavender essential oil intact, ensuring a high quality product.
