Description
Rose Oil Bulgarian has been produced just south of the Balkan Mountains for over 400 years, remaining one of the most precious and luxurious essential oils across the entire flavor & fragrance industry. The great value of rose oil is due in part to the fact that it requires approximately 3-4 tons of rose petals to produce a single kilo of oil, all of which must be hand-picked from between 1750 and 3500 individual rose flowers. Rose Oil Bulgarian is central to innumerable fragrances and accords, both modern and vintage, making it transcend the stylistic shifts that often occur with each new decade. However, this prevalence hasn’t stopped innovation within the oil’s many applications. The rich, full-bodied quality of its powdery and sweet-floral aroma is sometimes modernized to be more sheer, light, and watery.

The rose harvest in Bulgaria has ended. Despite the extremely early start to the rose season, flower productivity in Bulgaria seemed to be quite strong in 2024, with yields per hectare improving year-over-year. Many farmers have made renewed efforts to improve their fields and the weather remained fair for flower production within Rose Valley during this year’s longer than average season. A future concern regarding Rose Oil production in Bulgaria is labor – there are an estimated 25,000 rose pickers currently operating within Bulgaria, which is a 50% decline compared to the 50,000 pickers expected during an optimal season. There are many reasons behind the recent lack of workers including inflation rates, competition from other crops, and increasing overhead costs related to rose production. Despite these issues, our team at Berjé Trakia remain confident that recent improvements to our supply chain in Bulgaria will result in long-term benefits for sustainable Rose Oil.
