Iran's Kashan hosts annual Rosewater Festival
The musky scent of rosewater is once more filling the air in Iran’s historic city of Kashan, which hosts the thousand-year-old annual rose harvest and rosewater festival.
Damask roses, locally called Mohammadi, are carefully handpicked and boiled in special pots, to extract their sweet fragrance.
Containers are then filled with the aromatic rosewater and sent to the market. Each year, thousands of allured beholders come to Kashan to watch and partake in the delightful festival.
In addition to the exceptional traditional extraction methods, Iran’s modern rosewater industry ranks first in the world for its exemplary quality. The distinctive liquefied essence of Iran’s indigenous roses has culinary, cosmetic and medicinal uses.
