LEMON – Citrus limon

The lemon tree produces fruit all year, so fruits are harvested when ripe, all year round. In cold expression, the lemon is pressed to release the essential oil, and then centrifugation separates any water from the essential oil. The lemon was unknown in Europe until Alexander the Great brought it back from Asia. India is thought to be its country of origin. The essential oil contains vitamins and minerals, and the juice is a source of citric acid. Lemon essential oil is effective in removing stains and polishing metal and is used as a solvent.

Bergamot is the main flavoring in Earl Grey tea. It’s also widely used in eau de cologne. It was named after the north Italian town of Bergamo but is mainly produced in southern Italy. There is an annual herb that is also called bergamot (Monarda didyma) but is unrelated to bergamot essential oil. “FCF” indicates the oil is bergapten- or furocoumarin-free.
