Kaffir lime essential oil, extracted from the zesty rind of the fruit itself. Unfiltered and unadulterated, it embodies the raw brightness of Southeast Asia's most aromatic citrus.
This oil offers an exhilarating tartness, a green, almost savage freshness, punctuated by warm spice undertones evocative of fresh ginger root. The result is a scent both unexpected and deeply harmonious, with a radiant aldehydic fizz that lingers in the air.
Expect a green and effervescent profile: sharp citrus peels, crushed herbs, and a clean, aldehydic sparkle. It’s as if nature were distilled into a single, shimmering note, wild yet refined, crisp yet comforting.
FRUIT
The unmistakable appearance of Kaffir lime fruit, with its distinctively wrinkled peel and unique bumpy texture, is a visual delight. The vibrant green hue serves as a testament to its exceptional freshness and superior quality.
Cooked or raw, this remarkable fruit brings a unique taste reminiscent of lemongrass and ginger. Originally hailing from southeast Asia, including countries like India, Thailand, Laos, and Indonesia, Kaffir lime has recently gained popularity in moderate climates for its vibrant flavors. It shines as a main or secondary condiment in a variety of dishes, such as rougail, curry, spicy sauces, sambal, and chili.
Its delightful tang is indispensable in soups like Thai chicken prawn soup, and it pairs well with ingredients like mangoes, edamame, and bananas. Infuse your dishes with its essence by flavoring salt or olive oil.
Fruit available August to November.

Reviews
I use this to add into natural cleaning products I make at home. Citronellol characteristics work wonders and you can't tell the difference between shop bought cleaning products or insect repellents and home made if that's what you like to do!
