BLOOD ORANGE
Blood orange has a vibrant, juicy citrus scent with a distinctive deep red-orange color. Its aroma is more complex and less sharp than regular orange, featuring a rich, sweet-tart profile with hints of berry-like undertones. The scent is bright, fresh, and slightly more intense and nuanced compared to traditional orange notes.
Origin & Extraction
Blood oranges are primarily cultivated in Mediterranean regions, especially Sicily, Italy, and parts of Spain. The distinctive red coloration comes from anthocyanin pigments. Essential oil is typically extracted through cold-pressing of the orange peel, which captures the fresh, vibrant citrus essence.
