Botanique :
Ambrette comes from an Indian variety of Hibiscus and belongs to the Malvaceae family and the genus Abelmoschus.
Chemotypes :
Ambrette is the only Hibiscus seed grown for its olfactory interest. No other species of the genus Abelmoschus is cultivated.
Extraction process :
The obtention of the ambrette seeds absolute results from a first hydrodistillation, then from a reprocessing with alcohol, as its essential oil contains a high rate of fatty acids. This is why we often speak of ambrette butter, like Orris Root Butter, with the appearance of a colourless to pale yellow paste.
Fatty acids are eliminated with alcohol because they are poorly soluble. A glazing process allows to get rid of it by subjecting the butter to a temperature of 32 °F.
Geographic origin :
