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 October 24, 2024
Lavender can be seen growing along the Mediterranean coastline, including the Balkans, Adriatic coasts, and coastal regions of North Africa. It is native to the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean. It is also cultivated in South Asia, the Indian subcontinent, USA, and Australia. Lavender is a short, heavily branched shrub that can grow up to 24 inches in height. Lavender is primarily used as a culinary herb, for the extraction of essential oils as well as an ornamental plant for gardens and landscapes.
Lavender grows best in well-drained, fast draining soil that is moderately fertile. While it can prosper in chalky or alkaline soils, it will not survive heavy clay soil due to waterlogging. Prices are stable for this product.
