Our approach

From plant to essential oil, step by step

A transparent view of how Terra Distilla works, step by step, from the selection of plant materials through to delivery.

  1. 01

    Selection of plants, roots and seeds

    Plant materials are selected for their distillation potential and their fit with local growing conditions.

  2. 02

    Local agricultural sourcing

    Raw material comes from local cultivation in and around Flobecq, based on short supply chains.

  3. 03

    Harvest planning

    Harvest windows are planned with the grower according to the season and the maturity of the roots and seeds.

  4. 04

    Preparation of plant material

    Roots are cleaned, sorted and reduced to a suitable size; seeds are dried and graded before distillation.

  5. 05

    Artisanal distillation

    Small-batch distillation of root material, following traditional practice at a controlled scale.

  6. 06

    Monitoring of process parameters

    Structured recording of the parameters of each distillation run for later comparison.

    Essential-oil separation and collection

    Separation of the essential oil, collection and immediate protective storage.

  8. 08

    Quality assessment

    Assessment of each batch. External analytical testing is being defined with laboratory partners.
