Bulgarian roses are mainly used in the manufacture of perfumes, chocolates, wines and jams. Usually, one kilogram of rose oil needs to be extracted through 3000 kilograms of rose. This means that every gram of rose oil comes from more than 1,300 roses! Each flower is hand-picked and carefully distilled<\/a>.
