Rose Oil vs Rose Absolute

Bulgarian Rose Oil (Rose Otto) is produced through steam distillation of fresh rose flowers. Our rose oil is a 100% pure and natural product used in creams, lotions, soaps, and perfumes for its mild antiviral and bactericidal properties, as well as for its distinctive fragrance. The water left from the distillation of rose oil is never reused. Alteya runs a separate distillation cycle to produce its authentic rose water, suitable for refreshing and cleansing dry and sensitive skin.

Bulgarian Rose Absolute is produced through refined solvent extraction from fresh rose petals. Although it contains essential oil compounds, it differs from distilled essential oils. Rose absolute is concentrated and rich in aromatic molecules, making it widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy.

Rose Otto features more concentrated honey-rose notes, while Rose Absolute is characterized by its fresh-green scent profile. Alteya offers both products directly from our rose fields in the Bulgarian Rose Valley.

Bulgarian Rose Concrete

Bulgarian Rose Concrete is produced by cold extraction of fresh blossoms of the Bulgarian oil-yielding Rosa Damascena using an organic solvent such as hexane. About 350 kg of flowers are needed to produce 1 kg of concrete, making it more affordable than rose oil. It is a high-quality waxy semi-solid material used in perfumery and cosmetics and is one of the most popular solid perfume bases worldwide.

Bulgarian Rose Water

Bulgarian Rose Water

Alteya’s Certified Organic or Natural Bulgarian Rose Water is 100% pure and natural product, obtained by steam distillation of fresh rose blossoms, hand picked from our rose fields during the annual rose harvest in the world-famous Bulgarian Rose Valley.

Culture, Spirit and Lifestyle

The Bulgarian Rose Valley and Rose Festival

Located in the center of Bulgaria, shielded between the Balkan Mountain Range and Sredna Gora mountains, the Bulgarian Rose Valley is the home of the Bulgarian Rose and a world center for Bulgarian Rose Otto production. There are over 7000 varieties of roses worldwide, yet only few are known as oil-producing. The Rosa Damascena, cultivated in the Bulgarian Rose Valley for over 300 years, is considered the best oil-bearing rose renowned worldwide.

Unique climatic and soil conditions make the Rose Valley the perfect home for rose growing and rose oil production. The mountain rains and fresh air create the perfect environment for the plentiful pure botanicals that grow in the Valley.

Mild winters prepare the rose plants for the blossoming season. The air humidity, cloudiness and precipitation in May and June contribute to the cultivation of roses that yield very high percentage of oil.

The Rose Valley has also always been the center stage for the colorful age-old Festival of Roses. This traditional festival is a symbol of the rose industry and its influence on the culture, spirit and lifestyle of the Kazanlak Region. The rose festival is celebrated with folk songs and dances at Kazanlak and Karlovo on the first Sunday in June, at the start of the rose harvest in the Valley.

The Bulgarian Rose Valley is also the home of Alteya’s rose plantations.
