Raw Materials
For one to produce high-quality aromatic products, having quality oil-producing crops is paramount. Here at Kateko, we have access to our crops which follow the requirements of the agronomical practice. The crops are in ecologically clean regions including;
- Pirin, Rila, and Rhodope Bulgarian Mountains where our major lavender fields are found. The mountains are protected by UNESCO and are categorized as Bulgarian national parks.
- Clean mountain regions produce the raw materials for yielding pine essential oil.
- The southern slopes of the Sredna Gora Mountain near the famous Rose Valley host the rose fields that yield top-quality rose oil.
Quality
To ensure we produce high-quality aromatic products, Kateko frequently performs continuous control against the growth process of oil-producing crops as well as on the processed raw materials. What’s more, we have production facilities in close proximity with oil-bearing crops to ensure the crops don’t lose their valuable properties. The process of certification of the line of production is currently underway that guarantees we follow the GMP requirement. Kateko ltd is also Kosher, ISO 9001, and Lacon certified.
