The Plateau de Valensole is likely one of the most famed nature reserves of France and is positioned within the division Alpes-de-Haute-Provence the world is known about it is lavender fields.
Early in July, all over my vacation, I noticed quite a lot of harvest operations and were given invited through some pleasant farmers to movie the distillation proces additionally. (This video is a part 1 of three)

Merci aux agriculteurs de Plateau de Valensole!

Sort clarification concerning the Lavender harvesting and distillation proces:

The harvest is performed when the lavender is in complete bloom or simply after typically on the finish of June and during july and relying at the climate.

The Lavender vegetation and stems are lower and delivered to the distillery in objective constructed trailers. In the distillery a lid is diminished onto the trailer and the trailer sealed. Water is heated and made into steam is fed into the trailer thru pipes within the flooring.

The lavender stems, despite the fact that containing little oil, create a porous construction inside the trailer to permit the steam to flow into. This heats the entire trailer load of round 5 tonnes of subject material as much as 100 degreesC.

At this temperature the steam reasons the oil glands to erupt, and the oil evaporates into the steam. This steam with the oil now entrained inside of it, rises during the trailer and is gathered within the funnel formed lid.

The mixture of oil and steam is then piped to a condenser. Inside the condenser is a chain of metal tubes set out in a honeycomb development. The steam / oil aggregate passes down during the tubes. Cold rainwater is pumped between the tubes, which condenses the steam again to grease and water.

The oil and water aggregate is piped into the separator tank. Here the 2 liquids are allowed to settle out, and the oil bureaucracy a layer at the most sensible of the water.

The treasured lavender oil is then gathered from the separator.

Thanks for looking at!
