Our orange trees are grown in the province of Khemisset, Morocco. After the tree is planted, it takes at least 5 years before the first flowers can be harvested.The tree blossoms once a year, from April to late May. Grouped in clusters, the buds open one by one during the month-long blossoming period. The flower pickers go over each tree around 5 times, picking the blossoms as they open and leaving the bud for later. The flowers are harvested by a women’s organization in the morning by hand and hydro distilled within 24 hours following the picking. It takes about 1000 lbs. of orange blossoms to make 1 lb. of Neroli oil with a yield ranging from 0.08% at the beginning of the season to a maximum of 0.13% under the most favorable conditions.The annual world production of Nerolì is today less than 2000 Kg at 7000$/kilo. Sustainably grown and processed.
