Essential oils

Small bottles with fragrant content

They are called essential oils and are surely known to large audiences of people. However, essential oils are far from being only oils with a very pleasant scent. Their secret is to have many active ingredients if used properly. They are most often found in aromatherapy, as this way they help to improve our well-being and in general enrich the spaces we live in.
Essential oils have been present in our distillery since 1950, when distillers were producing fir tree oil. Later, after 1990, when the distillery was taken over by Mr Jože and Samo Kenda, the production spread to the production of juniper essential oil, and in the last decade to the production of several other oils. Essential oils are actually concentrated plant extracts, which are most often obtained by steam distillation. Handling requires careful and correct use and all warnings and instructions for use must be followed. Only in this way will the use of essential oils be safe.
BF essential oils allows us to maintain the tradition from 1950. The same distilled process in copper steels from the previous century is still present daily in our distillery. We hope you too will feel the authenticity and tradition, and we wish you a pleasant experience.

Essential oils should not be used as a substitute for treatment or medicines. Oils can only help to treat a certain condition. Talk to your doctor first about any treatment with essential oils. Use the product responsibly.
