Ishbiliya is a connection of 6 main points of our past.
It was born as a tribute to all the history that we have documented, our language has 4.000 words that come from Arabic being the most enriched language that exists in this aspect, the water that was a monumental symbol of the architecture that they left us as a legacy and that nowadays has become our sign of identity. The agriculture that allowed the arrival of many previously unknown products such as the orange tree and, as a consequence, the orange blossom, whose aim was to turn Seville into the world capital of perfumery. Without forgetting the culture that left us many important aspects that we treat normally nowadays.

Our Expertise
Bitter Orange from Seville
We are pioneers in the distillation of aromatic plants from the Spanish Mediterranean arc. During the process, the fruits and vegetables are selected and harvested considering parameters such as caliber, color index (CCI) and ripeness index (MI).
Also, Orange blossom essential oil is composed of linalool, which exerts antimicrobial and antiseptic properties; monoterpenes such as limonene and pinene, which act as stimulants, decongestants and anticarcinogens; linalyl acetate, a compound that has been shown to function as an anti-inflammatory when combined with linalool; and nerolidol, a potent antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant active ingredient.
Berries from Huelva
Southern Spain has a long tradition of berry growing. For this reason, Andalusia is one of the most renowned regions for the production and distribution of berries.
The qualities of the Huelva soil give the red fruits unique and unrepeatable organoleptic characteristics. Ishbiliya is very close to this privileged place for the cultivation of berries, having a culture very close to this product and working its raw material in several aspects.
This helps us to create very real flavours with natural notes that bring you to the fresh flavours of strawberry fields or the intense mouthfeel of blueberries.
Ingredients for Aromatherapy
All our ingredients are sourced from non-GMO plants, organically grown and/or sustainably harvested and wild. The plants are processed into essential oils and plant extracts at locations in Andalusia.
Most of the oils are produced by steam distillation or CO2 extraction, without the use of alcohol.
