L'Aromaria

L'Aromaria was established in 2015 from the desire to resurrect an abandoned old estate, transforming it into a farm specialized in the cultivation and processing of aromatic and medicinal plants. This company is located in the hills south of Orvieto, in Umbria, surrounded by unspoiled nature among green oak forests and significant evidence of the region's past; in this beautiful setting, L'Aromaria cultivates its aromatic plants, olives, hemp, and some varieties of ancient grains.

L'Aromaria has opted for the adoption of cultivation techniques that respect nature and biodiversity, entirely excluding the use of herbicides and chemical pesticides, which makes these crops completely organic. The heart of the production consists of natural essential oils obtained through steam distillation using only the best plants from its own crops, hand-harvested and immediately processed to best preserve all their aromas and properties; it is also important to emphasize that the hand-harvesting of the plants allows operators to obtain herbs for distillation intact, clean, and free from pests.

The freshly harvested plants are loaded into the distillation chamber of the stainless steel still where the passage of steam through the plant material determines the extraction of the essential oil, which, being volatile, is carried upwards along with the steam. The steam then passes through a water-cooled coil where, once condensed into aromatic water, the essential oil is separated. All L'Aromaria essential oils are therefore 100% natural, VeganOk certified, and suitable for food consumption.

The entire production process of the essential oils takes place within the company, from harvesting to bottling, with the aim of creating a handcrafted product that is certified and of the highest quality.
