Essential oils
Our long-standing experience in citrus fruit processing, has given us the possibility to acquire in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of the raw materials and their derivatives and possible applications in various sectors.
Our essential oils, extracted from fresh Sicilian citrus fruits, retain the citrus fruits’ unique characteristics.
Essential oils, extracted through in-line production systems or peelers, are used to flavor drinks by enhancing their taste and smell, lending them a fresh, citrus aroma. This fresh and delicate aroma makes them suitable for high quality perfumes and cosmetics.
