Rose oil
Rose absolute oil is made during a delicate process. Similar in a way to 'effleurage' (the pressing of petals in fat to produce an extract), the flower essence is extracted, with a wax-like 'concrete' being produced. Through a second extraction of the concrete, rose absolute oil is yielded. This method is more efficient than steam distillation, producing nearly 7 pounds of oil per 10,000 pounds of roses (distillation yields 1 pound oil per 10,000 pounds of roses), with a corresponding lower cost than a steam distilled variety - some find the absolute has a more 'complete' aroma, with more depth true to the Rose flower. see more >
