Organic Cold Pressed Yuzu Oil | Pure Citrus junos Peel Oil – Best Quality Cold Pressed Essential Oils
This small tree grows only 12 feet tall and produces large, yellow fruits. The yuzu fruit resembles that of a mandarin with a slightly uneven shape. Yuzu juice has a distinct taste from other citrus fruits. It has been a famous ingredient in drinks and gives added zest to many dishes.
It is believed that Yuzu is a hybrid of mandarin and Citrus ichangensis. Its fruits and leaves release a powerful aroma. Yuzu essential oil is extracted from the peel of the yuzu fruit through distillation or cold press. This pale-yellow oil gives off a scent that falls somewhere between grapefruit and mandarin orange with a slight hint of floral note. Some of the key components of yuzu oil are limonene, a-terpinene, myrcene, linalool, b-phellandrene and a-pinene. Limonene and linalool give the oil its distinct aroma.
