Yuzu Japanese Lemon Essential Oil

Yuzu Japanese Lemon Essential Oil

The Yuzu Japanese lemon (Japanese pronunciation of Chinese 柚子, pinyin yòuziscientific name Citrus × junos) is a hybrid plant species from the rue family (Rutaceae).yuzu has probably been cultivated in the middle Yangtze basin in China for thousands of years. It is a cross between the citrus fruit Ichang Papeda and mandarins and has a significantly higher vitamin C content than lemons. You have to wait up to 18 years before the first fruits can be harvested. The oil extracted from the peel is a true aromatic rarity and is only available in small quantities. It takes 300 kg of grated yuzu peel to produce just two kg of oil.

The yuzu lemon grows wild on a small tree in Tibet, Korea, China and Japan, where it has been 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 that is underlaid with floral notes and many other extraordinary nuances.
Unfortunately, yuzu lemon oil is expensive for a citrus oil. The price has risen even further over the past year.

Yuzu lemon goes well with: eucalyptus oil, fennel oil, lavender oil, maritime pine, mint, myrtle, nerolisandalwood, thyme oil, juniper oil, hyssop, cedar oil, Swiss stone pine, cypress
