Essential Oil Distiller from Portugal to Kharis
A couple of months ago, this beauty arrived from Portugal. It is a beautiful, handmade piece of equipment, 100% Copper Alembic, that we are using to extract essential oil from our lavender flowers.
My husband, Robert, is in charge of the distilling process. We are still debating whether this is an art or we can say we have scientific procedures in place.
When you are ordering essential oil, think of this: Each cycle requires five pounds of fresh lavender and more than eight hours to produce about one ounce of wonderfully-scented oil.

Hi
I am wondering if you could share where you found your copper distiller from Portugal? I am a cut flower farmer who is interested in making essential oils. Thanks so much!

Estoy gratamente impresionada con el mundo de lavanda que su familia ha creado. Soy de Bolivia y en mínimas cantidades produzco hidrato de lavanda así como aceite de lavanda con las flores de un pequeño jardín. Lo hago por afición, para llevar de presente a mis amigos más queridos. Me encantó el alambique que les llegó de Portugal. Felicidades!
