Yuzu Japanese lemon

The yuzu lemon grows wild on a small tree in Tibet, Korea and Japan, where it was cultivated. With their yellow-gold color, the yuzu lemons resemble small oranges or tangerines and have a hilly, bumpy surface. As with all citrus fruits, the peel oil is extracted using a cold pressing process. The scent is gigantic. I have seldom smelled such an extraordinary citrus oil. When I sniffed the oil, fantastic scent images came up that cannot be described with banal words. The fragrance has a distinctly deep, exquisite citrus note, which is underlaid with floral notes and many other extraordinary nuances.
Unfortunately, yuzu lemon oil is disproportionately expensive for a citrus oil. The price had also increased by a third over the past year. I haven’t been able to figure out why the oil is in such a high price category. This was one of the reasons why I resisted including it in our program for a long time. But when I recently put a little pattern on my nose again, this fascinating citrus scent flowed through me and I was completely blown away again. Therefore, even if the price is almost reminiscent of a rose oil, – new in the range.
