Lindenblossom Absolute

Extraction of Linden Blossom Absolute:

Linden blossom absolute is typically extracted through solvent extraction. The fragrant flowers of the linden tree (Tilia cordata or Tilia platyphyllos) are treated with a solvent to produce a concrete, which is then further refined using alcohol to yield the absolute.
This method preserves the delicate floral and honey-like aroma of the blossoms.
