## About
Every spice blend has one voice that tries to take over the room. This clove does not. Softer and sweeter than its distilled cousin and far less assertive, this CO2 select extract is an aromatic delight, made for blends where it plays well with the other oils instead of moving in and taking charge.It is Syzygium aromaticum, extracted in Germany from organically grown dried buds. Compared with the distilled oil it is richer in eugenol acetate and much higher in beta-caryophyllene, which, as Mark Webb notes, makes it milder on the skin than its steam-distilled counterpart. Mild is relative, though: it remains a strong skin and mucous membrane irritant, an oil to use with caution and respect.DetailsBotanical name: Syzygium aromaticumOrigin: organically grown dried buds, extracted in GermanyMethod: CO2 select extractionShelf life: about 3 to 4 years after openingHow to useUse it in diffuser blends and room sprays.
