Petitgrains Orange
Bitter Orange Petitgrain is produced by the Distillation of freshly hand-picked leaves and twigs from the Citrus Aurantium Amara trees, the same tree used to harvest flowers for Neroli production.
These beautiful Bitter Orange leaves have to be perfectly clean and processed within 24 hours before they dry out. The production of this oil is rarely performed due to high cost and time required.
OleOliO is equipped with an Alembic to process the hand-picked leaves swiftly directly at the farm.
The oil obtained is very complex with a combination of floral, green and neroli resemblance notes.
