 How to open
the concum and recommended handling?
The
vessels used for transportation of the precious rose oil are called
concums. The name comes from the sound made when pouring the oil
from the concum. Safe transportation of the costly rose oil required
good packaging. The concum has
been specifically developed for storage and transportation of the Rose
oil. It has been in use for centuries in its current form. It is a
tinned cooper vessel.

The concum serves several purposes:
For one: it allows safe delivery of the rose oil.
Two: it prevents adulteration.
Three: allows uniformity of quantity and quality.

The Concum pictured on this page is one certified by the
State Laboratory Bulgarian Rose.
- The Laboratory is an agency of the Bulgarian Government charged with the
authority to certify the genuine rose oil.
- The Laboratory accepts the rose oil from various distillers and confirms
that it complies with the minimum indicators set with the Bulgarian State
Standard.
- Then all the rose oil is mixed together in a uniform bulk mass.
- The standard sets lower and higher limits of various indicators. Rose oil
with indicators that are below the standard is not accepted, but returned to
the distillery.
- When a distillery makes a sale an order is placed with the Laboratory. As
a matter of procedure the Rose oil is retrieved from cold storage and left at
room temperature for six hours. A commission of three people measures the oil,
fills up the concum and certifies it.
- Rose oil is available directly from the distilleries, but in the majority
of cases the certified oils sought after.
