Spike Lavender Essential Oil

Lavándula Latifolia W.

Description

Spike lavender essential oil is one of Spain’s most important essential oils, both historically and today.

It belongs to the Lavandula genus and is obtained through steam distillation of the flowering tops of Lavandula latifolia W. from the Lamiaceae family.

This species is abundant across the Mediterranean basin, especially in Spain. However, in the last 20-25 years, many plantations have been established, making this region the primary source of the oil. It is mainly found in the provinces of Guadalajara, Cuenca, Albacete, Soria, and particularly Murcia.

The plant grows up to 90 cm tall and produces intense blue flower spikes at its top. These spikes contain the essential oil, and today, mechanized harvesting helps minimize waste by reducing unnecessary handling of leaves and unwanted volumes.

Lavandula latifolia W. distillation typically occurs in August, ensuring the best quality essential oil is extracted during this time.
