Our Essential Oils
Added value for your Flavours & Fragrances
An Essential Oil is a liquid containing volatile aromatic compounds characteristics of a plant. It is “essential” because contains the “essence” of the typical fragrance of the plant from which it is derived.
Our Essential Oils are extracted from the peel of fresh citrus fruits by mechanical process: Orange, Blood Orange, Bitter Orange, Lemon, Yellow Mandarin, Green Mandarin, Red Mandarin, Clementine, Bergamot. During the citrus process cycle, the peel is rasped and pressed in order to crush the vesicles which release the essential oil that is carried by flow of water. Afterwards, this oil/water emulsion goes through a filtration and centrifugation phase which allows to obtain a 100% Pure & Natural Oil, called Cold Pressed Essential Oil.
Through a distillation process, we can increase the solubility of the Essential Oil by decreasing the terpene content. As result we obtain a Folded Essential Oil.
Our Essentials Oils come from the best citrus fruits. Discover our fruits:
