Hops(Humulus lupulus)
Hops essential oil is steam distilled from the fresh flowers of the Humulus lupulus plant, carefully cultivated in the northwestern region of the USA.
Hops plants are dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female plants. The female flower is the one used for brewing beer. While the resins and alpha acids in the hop flowers are responsible for making the beer bitter, the essential oils in the hop head contribute to many of its flavor and aroma properties.
