« Essences de Gascogne » : Birth of a distillery
Spring 2015, as the sun rise above our plantations, our project come to maturity.
What a wonder the blue of the lavender (lavandula angustifolia), the white of the camomile (chamaemelum nobile), the yellow of the helichryse (helichrysum), and the perfume of all those flowers. These are the fundamental elements of the relocation of our raw materials, right next to the packaging site (and by doing so, shorten the production line), and on the other hand, revitalize a local economy and an entire geographic area.
The creation of an activity based on the medicinal plants in Gascogne (south-west of France) follow our development and our ethical code.
And so was born in spring 2015, the « Essences de Gascogne distillery », a Laborathoire Altho branch.
