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.

Alteya Organics – Rose Harvest

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.

Rose Oil vs Rose Absolute

rose otto

Both Bulgarian Rose Otto (Rose Oil) and Bulgarian Rose Absolute are produced from the flower petals of Bulgarian Rosa Damascena

Bulgarian Rose Oil (Rose Otto) is produced through Steam Distillation of fresh rose flowers. Our rose oil is a 100% pure and natural product that is used in creams, lotions, soaps, and perfumes for its mild anti-viral and bactericidal properties, as well as for its fragrance. The water, left from the distillation of rose oil, is never used again, which is a key difference from many other companies who save costs by reusing the by-product of rose oil and market it as rose water. Alteya runs a separate distillation cycle to produce the famous Alteya rose flower water (aka Rose Water) beneficial for cleansing and refreshing dry, sensitive skin. Besides being used as a medicine in history, the rose oil has a long history as one of the most important ingredients in most luxury skin care products and is often referred to as “liquid gold”.

Bulgarian Rose Absolute is produced through a refined, liquid solvent extraction of fragrant compounds from fresh rose flowers. Although the rose absolute contains essential oil compounds it differs from distilled essential oils. The rose absolute oil is a concentration of aromatic compounds including essential oil constituents. Rose absolute is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, aromatherapy and many other areas.

Rose Otto has more concentrated rose-honey like notes comparing with rose absolute where the fresh-green scent is dominated. Alteya is proud to offer both Bulgarian Rose Oil and Bulgarian Rose Absolute directly from our rose fields in the Bulgarian Rose Valley.

Bulgarian Rose Concrete

Our Bulgarian Rose Concrete is obtained by cold extractions of fresh rose blossoms of the Bulgarian oil-yielding rose (Rosa Damascena) with an organic solvent like hexane. Around 350kg of flowers are needed to produce 1kg of rose concrete, which explains why our Rose Concrete is less expensive than our Rose Oil. The Bulgarian Rose Concrete is considered the highest quality Rose Concrete in the world. It is a waxy semi solid material which has multiple uses in perfumery and cosmetics and is one of the most popular solid perfumes worldwide.

Our 2019 Rose Harvest is in full swing! 🌹🌹

Every year at the start of summer, a several week-long process of rose harvesting and distillation takes place at Alteya's organic rose fields.

During this short period, the Bulgarian roses are very prolific. They bloom daily and hundreds of rose-pickers start collecting the fresh rose blossoms at the early pre-dawn hours, when moisture is at its highest and the plants' aroma is the strongest. Picking roses is a very hard and labor intensive process, done solely by hand. However, as heavy machinery is not being used, rose harvesting is also a very clean and environmentally-friendly activity, which is very important to everyone at Alteya.

Once the fresh rose blossoms are collected, they are immediately transported to our state-of-the-art distillery, where we extract the highest grade organic Bulgarian rose essential oil (rose otto) and rose water (hydrolat concentrate). Our proprietary steam-distillation method combines thousands of years of tradition with modern research and technology, and is based on utilizing only pure spring healing water extracted from deep under the Rose Valley to achieve the most potent skin-care and therapeutic grade rose oils and waters.

Check out our Instagram story for some interesting facts and behind the scenes shots of the rose harvest and distillation process, as well as the numerous rose festivals and celebrations that take place during this time to cherish the magic of the Bulgarian Roses! ... See MoreSee Less
