 This product is registered with the Vegan Society and is certified Kosher.  The reason why this product is not organic is because bitter almond contains cyanide, so it needs to be cleaned to remove this.  The extraction process is: (i) carbon dioxide extraction from Prunus amygdalus Amara at 40Mpa and 42°C for 3 to 4 hours; (ii) alkali washing and separation to remove hydrocyanic acid; (iii) fractional distillation.  This bitter almond essential oil is then mixed with ethanol at c. 45% concentration of alcohol.
