Description
Bulgaria is home to the largest growing area in the world for lavender oil, producing each year between 100 MT-130 MT (depending mainly on climatic conditions).
Distilled from the plant flower spikes, lavender oil is one of the world's most traditional essential oils frequently used in fragrances and aromatherapy, despite little evidence proving its therapeutic values.
Ultra International B.V. offers the highest grade of Bulgarian lavender oil which boasts a lavandulyl acetate content on average around 4% (industry average is 2%). To achieve this we hand select the plants from certain growing partners in Bulgaria to ensure we are able to offer our clients this premium oil each season.
Harvesting usually begins during the first two weeks of July and the season lasts around 2 weeks.

Latest Market Information November 5, 2021
Extremely cold weather conditions delayed regular lavender operations. This led to a reduced output and production. Farmers are waiting to see the price scenario to decide on the future of the fields. Earlier the low price of lavender pushed farmers to destroy fields and stop the harvest. If price continues to be low, farmers are expected to repeat the trend. This will make lavender production unsustainable. 2021 witnessed lower production compared to previous years.
The demand for lavender is extremely high, and distillers are finding it difficult to keep up with demand. The market for the oil has been extremely active in the last few months.
