High-altitude lavender from Provence

Characteristic of the heights of Provence, Fine Lavender, unlike Spike Lavender, grows at altitudes of 800 to 1,000 m or more. With fewer and fewer fields of Fine Lavender being cultivated, and with this fragile plant finding it difficult to resist frost and various diseases, this lavender is becoming increasingly rare in Provence.

However, it is this highly reputed lavender from Provence that enables us to produce the highest quality essential oil. And we are delighted and privileged to be able to offer you an organic lavender essential oil of the highest quality.

An authentic variety

True lavender (Lavandula vera, Lavandula angustifolia or Lavandula officinalis) is a general term for several varieties of Lavender.

Its authentic form is Wild Fine Lavender, which is a Population lavender, meaning that all the plants are different.

In its natural habitat, this plant grows at altitudes of up to 2,000 m in the Alpes de Haute-Provence. This rare wild fine lavender is most often cultivated at a lower altitude, around 800 to 1,000 m. It is to be distinguished from clonal lavenders, the main ones being "Lavande maillette" and "Lavande Matheronne", which are the result of the selection of particular clones that are then reproduced by cuttings, so that the plants are all identical, in order to be more resistant and give a better yield. The result is essential oils that are simpler in composition, less powerful in aromatherapy and less refined in scent.
