Organic essential oil LEMON is obtained by cold pressing of lemon rinds – Citrus limon. It comes into Amon & Anis bottles directly from organic plantations in Italy. This essential oil is certified organic & food grade – Bio Aroma.
It is often used in cooking, for example to flavor desserts. Its tart, citrusy scent of fresh lemons can be used instead of freshly grated lemon rind in apple or lemon pie, cookies or Mediterranean sauce. A few drops on the kitchen counter creates a fresh and pleasant atmosphere in the kitchen. Due to its fresh scent and antibacterial properties, it is indispensable in a diffuser in the fall and winter, and it is also often found in household cleaning agents.
