HE ORANGE DOUCE

Sweet Orange essential oil is extracted from the zest of the sweet orange fruit by our Argentinian producers. This essential oil offers a fresh, sweet and tangy scent reminiscent of the sweetness of citrus fruits.

The sweet orange is a tree of the Rutaceae family, a small evergreen tree that can reach a height of 4 to 10 meters. Its branches are often thorny and its leaves are dark and shiny green. The tree produces delicious white flowers.
Originally from Asia, probably China or India, it is now cultivated in many regions of the world. It prefers warm, sunny conditions, making it an iconic fruit for regions with Mediterranean climates.
The sweet orange is a natural hybrid resulting from the crossing between the mandarin and the grapefruit. This is why it shares similar characteristics and flavors to these two fruits. The term “sweet” is used to describe the characteristic flavor of this variety, which is less acidic than other citrus fruits.
