Organic lavender flowers | whole

What is it about / Product description

Biova organic lavender blossoms are whole, gently dried blossoms from Albania with an intensely floral aroma and a bright purple color. The natural herbs come from controlled organic cultivation and are offered as high-quality bulk goods for food and spice applications.

Thanks to the coarse / whole grading, structure, essential oils and the full fragrance profile are preserved as well as possible. Biova focuses on clean, single-variety quality with a uniform appearance and careful cleaning, ideal for professional processors and discerning manufacturers.

You can use the organic lavender blossoms in a variety of ways in tea blends, pastries, desserts or syrups, and also for DIY projects such as scented cushions, potpourris or bath additives. This gives you a flexible ingredient that is convincing both visually and sensorially.

Origin

The lavender plants grow in Albania, where sunny, rather dry locations promote the formation of essential oils. Cultivation is carried out in accordance with EU/non-EU organic regulations without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and each batch is tested against typical Biova quality criteria.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The lavender comes from organic farming and is harvested during the main flowering period, when fragrance and aroma are particularly pronounced. The flower heads are gently cut, air- or warm-air-dried, cleaned and filled as whole blossoms into food-grade bulk units of approx. 1.05 kg per kg.

Special features

A characteristic feature is the use of whole, purple lavender blossoms that are not crushed and therefore retain a high-quality appearance. The combination of organic quality, bulk / retail variants and the coarse / whole grading enables precise dosing of both small and large quantities in trade and gastronomy.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the region of origin, the aroma of lavender can vary from mildly floral to more intense and herbaceous. Biova relies on gentle drying and processing that minimizes breakage so that color, fragrance and blossom structure remain as intact as possible.

Taste & aroma

The organic lavender blossoms display an intensely floral, slightly herbaceous flavor profile with a subtly bitter note. The aroma is typically fragrant, reminiscent of Mediterranean herb fields and harmonizes particularly well with sweet or mild ingredients in tea, honey or pastries.

Possible applications

• As an aromatic ingredient in herbal and fruit teas or your own tea blends
