The Lavender Way

Modi is where the final stage in the transformation takes place - where the soul of the beautiful lavender flowers is transmuted, in an almost alchemical manner, into the essential oil. A magical process that to this day brings tears to my eyes. In these opening shots you can see the twin 600 litre stills, the sacks of latifolia (the angustifolia has already been loaded into the first still and is gently cooking). This is the business end of oil production here at the lavender way. The guy in the blue overalls is Babbis - master distiller and all round good guy.
