- Product Highlights
- The main harvest periods for Mentha Arvensis are April, May and July. During harvest, the fresh flowering aerial parts of the plant are gathered, before being field distilled.
- The crude oil is then transported to the essential oil plant to be fractionally distilled via steam. Dementholisation then occurs, which reduces the presence of l-menthol from 70% to around 40%.
- This lower level of l-menthol prevents crystallization from occurring and maintains the characteristic minty aroma.
