Auro Oleum grows immortelles on a field that stretches over an area of ​​four hectares and is located in the untouched nature of the Island of Krk. We harvested the seeds from natural immortelle found in the wild on rocky slopes by the sea on the northern Kvarner islands in Croatia.

All processes, from picking seeds, growing seedlings, building greenhouses to planting seedlings, were done manually.

Immediately after the harvest, our immortelle goes to the distillery and is steam distilled there. It is a method of distillation used to separate the ingredients of a liquid mixture that is immiscible with water and has a high boiling point (the temperature of essential oils is high and regularly exceeds 100 degrees Celsius). Steam distillation produces higher boiling essential oils and is well suited for chopped stems and leafy material. The resulting mixture of essential oil vapor and water is condensed in a condenser, and the essential oils are separated from the water in a Florentine bottle. In addition to the essential oil, in this process, an aqueous layer saturated with essential oil is formed, i.e. our 100% natural and organic hydrosol or immortelle flower water.
