Extracted from the mature zest of the Melanesian Macroptere, also known as Shatkora , this essential oil captures a rare and fascinating expression of the citrus world. A genetic cousin to the kaffir lime, Macroptere offers something altogether more unexpected and refined.
Harvested in the cool winter months of December and January from trees nurtured in Portugal, the fruit is extracted at peak maturity to yield an oil of remarkable complexity.
 
Dominated by limonene and caryophyllene, this oil carries an aromatic warmth spicy, resinous, and creamy, with a hint of dry citrus.. The result is a profile that evokes the familiar sharpness of kaffir lime, but evolves with greater softness and subtle depth.
