OVERVIEW & DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Our meticulously sourced Parsley Oil is obtained from both the verdant leaves and fragrant seeds of the biennial herb, Petroselinum crispum, flourishing in the bucolic landscapes of rural Egypt. While the seeds harbor the highest concentration of essential oil, the entire plant, encompassing its leaves, can be utilized in the extraction process. Exhibiting a sweet, warmly spicy, and herbaceous aroma, Parsley Seed Essential Oil imparts a comforting and harmonizing effect when incorporated into blends.

Originating from the Mediterranean region, Parsley stands as one of the most renowned and extensively utilized herbs, valued not only for its culinary applications but also for its ornamental appeal, owing to its lush, deeply green, frilled, or curly leaves. Its nomenclature traces back to the Greek word “petros,” meaning stone, indicative of its propensity to thrive in rocky environments. Beyond its culinary prowess, Parsley boasts numerous benefits, including its renowned ability to soothe the stomach and provide relief for urinary tract discomfort.
