Notes :
True peppermint oil is steam distilled from the partially dried herb of Mentha Piperita which is a hybrid from three other species of Mentha, all natives of southern Europe. The peppermint plant was brought to the U.S.A. early in the 19th century and these plants were the foundation of what are today the largest peppermint growing centers in the world like the northeastern United States, now practically abandoned except for experimental stations, then the Midwestern states of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin, all decreasing their production. The fareastern states of Oregon and Washington are now the main producers of American peppermint oil.
