Oakmoss

Oakmoss, despite its name, is not a moss but a branching lichen, varying in colour from very pale to dark olives and ambers when wet. It can be found in temperate, mountainous forests throughout the northern hemisphere, growing on the branches and trunks of deciduous trees and conifers, but most especially on the oak. Its presence is a sign of unpolluted air. Our oakmoss is foraged from the trunks and branches of wild growing oak trees in the hills of Samokov, Macedonia, and transported to Grasse, where the oil is extracted by a family-run distillery.
