TERROIR
The Damask rose
that grows in Pyeongchang
The aroma compounds built up through the day settle deep into the petal only in the cool night air of Pyeongchang — which is why the scent is fresher and deeper than anything imported.
This particular Damask rose grows at ROSA n VALLEY, on a well-drained mountainside in Daehwa-myeon, in clean mountain air.

HARVEST
The fresh-flower harvest
We harvest by the condition of the flower, then prepare the sorted roses as the material each use calls for.
STEP 01
Seedling and growth care
Pruning and the management of nutrients and water prepare the year’s crop, so the blossoms come healthy.
STEP 02
Bloom check and harvest
The state of the bloom sets the harvest date; in the early morning each blossom is picked by hand.
STEP 03
Sorting
Foreign matter and damaged flowers are removed, and the rest packed to suit its use.
STEP 04
Supply and processing
Sorted blossoms are delivered or sent to rose water extraction, and otherwise prepared as frozen or dried material.
