Our history

 

The Duffez Distillery is producing essential oils in Drome Provençale since 1947. Our family business has grown up for the last past 60 years, and we have invested in our distillery to be one of the biggest essential oil suppliers in France. We produce the best quality to offer you and your customers every essential oils benefits. The Duffez family has worked hard on her fields to cultivate and collect the best Lavender and Lavandin species quality. As an example, in the years 90, we have begun to distil French Provence Cypress branches. All our Cypress essential oils are now appreciated of all the pharmaceutical companies as well as creators of flavors. Developping Provence Cyprus distillation for more than 10 years, we are now the French leader in Provence Cypress essential oil. We have developed a farmers network to collect Cypres branches or the Cypress essential oil conventional distillation. Our great experience in distillation gave us the opportunity to produce and distil other botanical species like juniper, laurel, peppermint, thyme or Helichrysum italicum. We are currently working to develop our product portfolio to meet the requirements of our customers and meet the future market demand.

An eco-friendly and traditional process

A double know-how stemming from a long family tradition

We have acquired our savoir-faire during more than 60 years.

Our production and the quality of our essential oil are based on 50 years of family history.

We use all the modern techniques to distil our vegetables.

– The distillation in boxes allows to harvest vegetables directly in the field and to prepare them for the distillation. This one is facilitated by the use of a hat closing the box to distil the vegetable and obtain essential oil.

– In 2015 the Duffez distillery decided to lean more on its family heritage by renew an old vase of distillation dating of 1950

The box was completely rehabilitated and modernized thanks to an aluminum dubbing.

This vase of distillation allows us to produce in a traditional way essential oil of available vegetables in smaller quantities, as Helycrise Italienne of Corsica for example.

All new generation

 

To meet the growing need of essential oils,  we also use  distillation box process

A modernized production tool

To get closer of the fields of harvests,

we invest in 2016 in a new distillery located east of Montélimar.

and lavenders in Drôme Provençale.

This new installation, using the last techniques regarding distillation,

will allow us to obtain very high quality essential oil.
