Finest Origin - Highest Grade
The fruity grapefruit essential oil comes from the freshly pressed peel of the fruit. The grapefruit trees have been cultivated organically by the experienced family business in Sicily since 2002. The Mediterranean climate of Sicily, with its dryness, high temperatures and the influence of Mount Etna, is ideal for the optimal growth of citrus trees, allowing the grapefruit to develop its flavours such as citral, myrcene and alpha-pinene harmoniously. The fruit is harvested by hand from December to March, sorted, washed and the essential oils from the peel are pressed into this aromatic essential oil in the company's own cold pressing plant.
Farm
We source this essential oil from a small family-run company in Sicily. The company was founded in the 1970s and specialises in citrus fruits. The first organic cultivation began in 2002 and is continuously adapted to the latest findings and the cultivation areas are expanded. The mineral soils and the Mediterranean climate of this sunny region as well as the many years of experience in cultivation, care, harvesting and processing are reflected in the high-quality essential oils from this producer. The essential oils are cold-pressed in the company's own production facilities and have been awarded EU organic certification.
grapefruit
The grapefruit belongs to the rue family (Rutaceae) and is a citrus plant that probably originated from a natural cross between an orange and a pomelo in Barbados. The evergreen citrus tree can grow up to 15 metres high and produces sturdy dark green leaves up to 15cm long and fragrant white flowers.
Aroma
The fresh and juicy notes of this essential grapefruit oil are uplifting, and stimulate feelings of hope and emotional growth.
