<<12>> So today we're visiting Simone Gatto,
<<14>> our partner in Sicily.
<<16>> Today we'll have the opportunity to the see
<<18>> the production of Green Mandarin.
<<20>> The advantage of having our Wellness Advocates come
<<22>> to visit our production partners is they get to see
<<24>> the passion that goes into making the oils.
<<32>> doTERRA was looking for genuine and high-quality oils from Italy,
<<37>> and we were looking for new customers who had the old mentality
<<42>> of our previous customers, which is: support the growers.
<<45>> Our task is to bring the oils to the final consumer, to our customers.
<<50>> There is no reason on Earth why we should blend adulterated materials.
<<54>> We have to keep our quality to produce the best, genuine oils.
<<61>> My family has been producing essential oils now for 90 years.
<<67>> The purity and non-adulteration of the oil is for us, very important,
<<72>> because it's very important to sell a product that is
<<75>> as pure and natural as the nature gives.
<<84>> For any citrus, it's different than a normal essential oil
<<88>> because the oil is actually found in the peel.
<<90>> So you take a nice green mandarin that you'll see today.
<<94>> We'll see the fruit being received, we'll see it being cleaned
<<97>> and then you see these amazing machines,
<<100>> like giant spinning cheese graters,
<<103>> and they scratch the peel and release the oil from the peel
<<107>> and then that oil and water mixture goes into a centrifuge
<<111>> and it's spun and separated from the water.
<<114>> It's a really cool process
<<115>> and it's something that's exciting for people to see because
<<118>> it's very different from a traditional distillation, steam distillation process.
<<134>> We want to get as many people to experience and
<<137>> to touch and to feel and to smell our sources as possible.
<<142>> There's nothing quite like going to a distillery.
<<144>> There's nothing quite like watching
<<147>> the wonderful workers harvest the materials
<<149>> that bring us these amazing and powerful essential oils,
<<151>> and there's nothing like thanking them.
