Introduction

It is derived from Mentha piperita of the Lamiaceae family and obtained by steam distillation of its fresh stems and leaves.
It has a rich, cool and unique mint aroma, which is fresh, intense, accompanied by a faint grassy scent, giving a refreshing and invigorating feeling.
Its main components include menthol, menthone, menthofuran, menthyl acetate, etc.
