Rosemary var. Verbenone

The Rosemary Verbenone variety initially originated from the Corsica Island in the Mediterranean. Rosemary Var. Verbenone Oil and Rosemary Var. Verbenone Essential Oil are skilfully extracted from the flowering tops, leaves, and twigs of the locally grown Rosemary plant, through steam distillation. Rosemary is a small evergreen shrub with thick aromatic linear leaves which grow up to 1.5 meters in height.

There are three principal chemotypes of Rosemarinus Officinalus:
