Our Production Process
The Art of Nature. The Precision of Science.
At Lycaonia, high-quality lavender oil is no accident; it's the result of a meticulously planned and meticulously controlled process. We invite you on this transparent journey, starting from the fertile lands of Karaman and passing through the heart of our distillery, where the purest lavender essence is extracted.
Where It All Begins: Soil and Seedlings
The journey to quality begins before the seed even hits the ground. We meticulously analyze the soil of our plots and select Lavandula Angustifolia seedlings, proven to produce the highest-quality essential oil. Only the healthiest seedlings find their way into our carefully prepared plots, which offer the most ideal conditions. Because we know that without a solid foundation, excellent results cannot be achieved.
Careful Growing and Care
We constantly monitor the development of our lavender plants on our 73-acre plot. Our fully equipped irrigation system ensures we water our plants precisely when and in the exact amount they need, avoiding waste. Our sustainable agriculture practices ensure our plants mature healthily and achieve the highest essential oil yield.
The Most Precious Moment: Harvest
Timing is everything in lavender farming. To ensure we don't miss those critical "golden hours" when the plant's precious essential oil content is at its highest, we run our operation with modern technology. Our high-capacity harvesting machine harvests the entire crop efficiently and quickly, without sacrificing quality, and prepares it for distillation in our facility.
Journey to Purity: Steam Distillation
Our modern facility, located in the Karaman Organized Industrial Zone, is the heart of our operation. Harvested lavender is steam distilled in our 3,000-liter industrial stainless steel tank. Our automation systems precisely control temperature and steam flow, ensuring the extraction of lavender's precious and delicate components in their purest form, preserving their structure.
Quality Preservation and Storage
After distillation, each batch of lavender oil undergoes final quality control tests. Once its purity and quality are confirmed, our product is stored in food-grade stainless steel tanks that protect it from external factors such as light, air, and temperature. This final step ensures that every drop of Lycaonia lavender oil you receive retains its original purity and precious qualities.
