Wild herbs of Alentejo – Distillation of Essential oils (Colos, Beja)

This workshop is a cooperation between the distiller and beekeeper Vitor Menas (www.dalenguidana.com) and the ecologists and passionate botanists Jannis Elsaesser (Eco Interventions). Our aim is to connect botanical knowledge about wild plants and the landscape of Alentejo with the ancient alchemical knowledge of distillation. The alchemical art of extracting the fragrance as essential element out of the plants and obtain the precious essential oils and their hydrolates, which can be used as simple fragrance, in aromatherapy or even in modern cuisine!
