Imagine the aroma of fresh herbs and flowers transforming into the purest essential oils and hydrosols right in your home. Tempting, isn't it? Home distillation opens up a world of natural scents and beneficial products, and to achieve this, you need reliable equipment. In this article, as an experienced distiller, I'll explain the advantages of using Portuguese copper alembics with a column and why they are the best choice for home distillation.

Why Choose Copper?

Copper is a traditional material for distillation equipment, and there are several good reasons for this. First, copper has excellent thermal conductivity, which allows heat to distribute evenly and prevents overheating. This is especially important in distillation, as even heating ensures a higher-quality product. Secondly, copper has antimicrobial properties, which help prevent the growth of bacteria and mold during distillation. Research shows that copper can eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, making it the ideal material for distillation.

Benefits of Portuguese Alembics

Portuguese alembics are renowned for their quality and durability. They are handcrafted by experienced artisans, ensuring the highest quality of each piece. Alembics with a column are particularly convenient for distilling essential oils and hydrosols because the column allows for more efficient separation of components, resulting in a purer product. Portuguese craftsmen use traditional manufacturing methods passed down through generations, ensuring unmatched quality and longevity. Furthermore, these products can be used both with a column and without it, functioning as a classic alembic.

How Does a Column Alembic Work?

A column alembic consists of several parts: a pot, a column, and a condenser. The pot is the container where the raw material (like plants) is heated. The steam generated by heating rises through the column, where it is cooled and condensed. The condenser is the device where the steam turns into liquid, which is then collected in a special container. The column allows for more effective separation of components, which is particularly important when distilling essential oils. This process helps to obtain a cleaner and more concentrated product, which is essential for those who value quality.

Advantages of Home Distillation

Home distillation allows you to control the quality and composition of your products. You can be confident that your essential oils and hydrosols do not contain harmful chemical additives or preservatives. Moreover, it is an engaging and creative activity that lets you experiment with different plants and create unique scents. Research shows that essential oils produced at home can be 30-50% more concentrated than commercial counterparts.
