Our Supply Partners - Lionel Hitchen Essential Oils
LIONEL HITCHEN (ESSENTIAL OILS) LIMITED was estabilshed in 1964, to manufacture concentrated citrus oils. It has remained a family busines from inception, and is now led by Alastair and Peter Hitchen (joint Managing Directors) and Alison Barnes (Chairman).

Over the years the business has achieved a strong growth pattern both in volume of citrus oils and by diversification into the manufacture of herb and spice oleoresins and flavours.

Today the Company provides a comprehensive service manufacturing:
natural concentrated essential oils
steam distilled oils
alcoholic extracts
flavours
oleoresins
dispersed herb and spice extracts

The Company is a leading supplier to the food and beverage industry, sourcing raw materials globally, often from long established supply channels.

The LHEO spice and oleoresin range includes the standard spice range, as well as many European and Global extracts. These include basil, bay, capsicum, cardoman, celery, chillies, cinnamon, clove, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, fenugreek, ginger, juniper berry, lemongrass, mace, marjoram, mint, nutmeg, onion, parsley, paprika, pepper, sage, tarragon and thyme, plus other specialties such as coffee, cocoa and vanilla. In response to ever changing consumer demands, LHEO can also offer many ethnic spice blends which offer exceptional authenticity.

LHEO also offer an extensive range of concentrated citrus oils, produced by vacuum distillation at their Barton Stacey site. The distillation removes insoluble terpenes and sesquiterpenes which would otherwise oxidise and give oils with short shelf life and poor flavour. Using controlled fractionation and process control LHEO are able to ensure consistently high quality. The LHEO citrus oil range includes Bergamot, Blood Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin, Orange and Tangerine oils, with strengths ranging from 2 fold up to sesquiterpeneless oils.
