Ormenis multicaulis L. : Moroccan wild chamomile, grown for its essential oil in the Mediterranean basin. It has a fruity and green note.

Extraction process :

The harvest of chamomile is made with a harvester.
Chamomiles are distilled in two ways: traditionally or in a truck box. Traditional distillation involves harvesting the chamomile with its stems without grinding it. The fresh plant is left outside to dry in the sun, before it is extracted classically, by steaming in distillation tanks. Truck box distillation consists in harvesting chamomile and its stem with a harvester by grinding it. The chamomile is extracted inside the harvest box, with a water vapor entry and an exit towards a coolant, where the essential oil is collected.
Traditional distillation gives a warmer and herbaceous scent, as both green and volatile molecules have evaporated during the drying step.
In 2018, world cultivation of Roman chamomile spread over 1000 hectares of land, for a total production of about 16 tons of essential oil.

Other comments :

Chamomile is called Roman, because it was named for the first time by Joachim Camerarius, a German botanist, as it was abundant near Rome in 1588.
Chrysin, a typical flavonoid of Roman chamomile, gives it all of its relaxing and anxiolytic virtues.
