Rose Water |
Origin
Since ancient times, the rose has been highly prized for its source of perfume, medicinal use and nutritional properties. In fact so much so that Ancient Greeks, Romans and Phoenecians placed as much importance on large public rose gardens as they did on wheat fields and fruit orchards.Rose perfumes are made from rose oil, also called attar of roses, which is a mixture of Volatile essential oils obtained by steam-distilling the crushed petals of roses, a process first developed in Persian and Bulgaria. Rose water is a by-product of this process.
