The fresh blossoms of the organic Damask rose grown at Casalvento are hand-picked and used fresh to preserve their fragrance and properties. Ours is an organic botanical used by many distilleries for the preparation of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and in the production of gin. The flowers are suitable for the production of essential oils, hydrolates, hyperhydro, and absolutes. They must be harvested early in the morning and added immediately to the production cycle to avoid fermentation that would damage their properties
