English Camomile (Roman Type)
and Other Essential Oils
at Direct from Producer Prices

Based in the heart of rural England, the Starke family have been involved with essential oils for four generations. In 1899 Augustus Bruce Starke became established as a supplier and in 1925, when he purchased Chestnuts Farm, his son Ronald Bruce Starke started producing English Essential Oils of Camomile, Sage, Lavender, Peppermint, Dill and Angelica.

In 1963 Richard Bruce Starke took over growing the crops for distillation and as the business developed he was able to start Camstar Herbs, our sister company which is a grower, processor and exporter of herbs and related food ingredients.

Ed Starke has been running the company since 2009, ensuring that the same high standards are met while always looking to extend the company's product range. It's always worth asking us about any related product which isn't already on our extensive list.

We are proud to produce the finest quality English Essential Oil by traditional methods

  • Minimum use of permitted UK and EU approved pesticides. (No ungoverned substances used, as can occur with some imported Essential Oils.)
  • Stock which can be held for you for your call off, at agreed prices for 1 year (no currency exchange differentials).
  • 100% pure and genuine with Certificate issued by the Scottish Agricultural College. A bioassay is available on request.
  • FREEDOM FROM GENETIC TAMPERING OR ANIMAL TESTING
  • Our distillation process is the same as in Roman times - very natural.
