doTERRA - Green Mandarin Essential Oil Sourcing (Translated Subtitles)

<<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.
