Balkans · Two Chemotypes, One Region
Rosemary
Not Always the Same Oil
Rosemary grown across the Balkans can express different chemotypes depending on growing conditions. Some batches lean toward a higher cineole content suited to invigorating formulations, others toward camphor, more traditionally used in wellness applications.
Knowing which chemotype a given lot represents, rather than treating rosemary oil as a single generic product, is part of matching it correctly to a client's intended use.
