When we peel a citrus fruit
the smell on our hands clearly reflects what we have been touching.
That is because the essential oil is situated just under the surface of
the fruit in the part of the skin called the flavedo.
This deliciously smelling oil
can be pressed out of the fruits skin, without any thermal
treatment, to obtain coldpressed Lemon, Orange or Clementine
Essential Oil, which is a 100% natural product. It is used as a
flavour is many food products (candies, chewingum...) and in beverage
compounds, as well as an fragrance in perfumes, cosmetics and
other toiletries, and also directly in
aromatherapy.
The coldpressed Spanish Lemon Oil reflects the yellow colour of the lemons, and the colour of the coldpressed Spanish Orange oil & Clementine oil is intensely orange, almost red, and all three are very aromatic.
Also widely used, especially
when a colourless product is required, is the distilled Oil, which can
be obtained in two ways, by distilling the skin, obtaining what we just
call "Distilled Oil" or by recovering the oil in the process of
concentrating the juice, know as "Oil phase Essence" or "Essence
Oil".
