Found in vast regions of Southern and Eastern Europe, Juniperus communis is a small tree that grows wild in poor calcareous soils, forming slow-growing bushes that rarely exceed 4 meters in height. The berries are widely used in Europe as a spice and as a basic ingredient in the production of the well-known alcoholic beverage gin. They contain an essential oil that is extracted by a steam distillation process. The essential oil can also be derived from the plant’s needles and branches.
