The essential oil is produced mainly in France, Germany and Egypt from the ‘red’ onion. The essential oil is very rare and is only effectively obtained from the bulbs by Carbon Dioxide Extraction which is one of the most expensive processes to be used in essential oil extraction and therefore partly the reason for its price. It is also extremely powerful.
