Pełny opis

Blue Gold offers an exhaustive and authoritative analysis of the French lavender industry, bridging the gap between romanticized travelogues and technical agronomy. The book traces the journey of Lavandula angustifolia from its wild Mediterranean origins and Roman military use to its current status as a precision agricultural product protected by stringent AOC/AOP certifications. It provides a deep dive into the '800-meter threshold,' explaining why altitude and limestone soil are non-negotiable for true quality. Beyond botany, the text explores the technical 'Copper Alembic Sequence' of distillation and the sophisticated chemistry of linalyl acetate that defines high-end perfumery in Grasse. Addressing modern challenges, the book evaluates the threat of Stolbur disease, the impact of climate change on terroir, and the 2018 sequencing of the lavender genome. Written for enthusiasts, students, and industry professionals, it serves as a definitive blueprint for understanding the intersection of ancestral savoir-faire and modern scientific precision. This is the story of a plant that is simultaneously a cultural institution, a scientific subject, and a global luxury commodity
