Yuzu essential oil is cold-pressed from the peel of East Asian citrus fruits (Citrus junos). Like other essential oils, it is highly concentrated. Yuzu fruit is a natural hybrid of the tangerine and the Ichang wild lemon and resembles a small bumpy orange. Grown mainly in Japan, Korea and China, it has been used in Asian aromatherapy and cuisine for hundreds of years.

Yuzu is incredibly aromatic, with a super sour taste. Like lemons and limes, the fruit is too sour to eat, but its peel and juice are widely used to flavour everything from spicy sauces to liqueurs and marmalades. It is also used in high-end perfumes.

In Japan, Yuzu is a symbol of new beginnings and radiant health. It is traditionally used in a hot bath at the winter solstice to help warm the body, ward off winter ailments, calm the mind and help people with individual motivation.Yuzu essential oil has a fresh, unusual citrus aroma – like a blend of grapefruit and tangerine with hints of bergamot and lime. The oil is not commercially produced in large quantities and is therefore more expensive than other citrus oils.
