✨ Description

Lavender, also known as Lavandula x intermedia, is an evergreen shrub that blooms with clusters of beautiful purple flowers from late spring through early autumn.
Originally native to the Mediterranean, Lavender now thrives across France, Croatia, Albania, and the Western United States, enchanting the senses wherever it grows.

Beloved worldwide for its calming fragrance and sweet floral taste, Lavender is both a culinary delight and a wellness staple.
In French cuisine, it adds a delicate, floral note to desserts, teas, and breads, while its aromatic oils infuse lotions, soaps, and creams with an unmistakable spa-like luxury.

Our Super Grade Lavender from France is prized for its vivid color, bright citrus-like aroma, and strong floral taste.
It carries hints of sweetness, rosemary, and subtle spice, with very few stems or leaves — making it ideal for clear containers, potpourri displays, and pure Lavender tea.
The blossoms are rich and vibrant, bursting with essential oils that enhance both fragrance and flavor.

Our Lavender Extra from Croatia and Albania offers a gentler, sweeter aroma — a perfect choice for culinary blends, infused oils, or relaxation teas.
Whether steeped, sprinkled, or savored, both grades offer the same promise: peace, clarity, and comfort.
