Origin and Botany
Angelica, botanically known as Angelica archangelica, is a majestic plant from the Apiaceae family, native to northern European and Asian regions, such as France, where it is cultivated for this essential oil. It is a biennial plant that can reach great heights, with strong stems, large leaves, and white or greenish flowers arranged in umbels. Historically, Angelica has been revered by various cultures, which attributed protective and strengthening qualities to it. The essential oil is obtained by low-pressure distillation of its roots, a careful process that seeks to preserve the integrity and complexity of its volatile components. This extraction method, with controlled temperature and slow distillation, is crucial to ensure a complete aromatic profile and high quality of the final product. Oshadhi's Angelica oil specifically comes from organic farms in France, which underscores a commitment to purity and sustainability, and is classified as 'Selected', indicating its superior quality.
