Organoleptic profile of organic sweet orange Citrus sinensis L.
Our variety of exclusively organic grade sweet orange and with an intense flavour, has a very thin skin and a delicate mesocarp.
Liquor details
This orange, always used as a complement in infusion mixtures, brings a touch of colour to creations but also gourmet thanks to its intensity.
Smell
Characteristic and very fragrant, the scent of sweet orange is both delicate and fruity. Thanks to respectful drying, the orange peel is surprising both in its intensity and its sweetness.
In the form of essential oil, organic sweet orange has a stimulating, sweet, fresh and energising aroma.
Flavour
Very intense sometimes as in pomelo, the bitter agents from citrus fruits are due to flavonoids, such as naringin. However, in the species Citrus sinensis L. the flavour of orange remains that of citrus fruit, rather neutral and sweet, unlike Seville orange or bitter orange.
Intensity
Beautiful aromatic intensity, more powerful than the species of Spanish origin. The astonishment was great when we smelled it for the first time. We feel that the sunshine is stronger, and that the fruit has drawn its strength from it!
Our Natural Origins selection criteria (batch refusal, etc.)
Our vigilance focuses primarily on contaminants. Citrus fruits are known to be sensitive, and certain productions are clearly contaminated. We check all batches before importing them into France. We apply great rigour to this selection, because we only want to offer products that comply with the regulations in force.
We also check the humidity of the batches we receive, in order to avoid microbiological proliferation, or even the growth of fungi.
In addition, we pay a lot of attention to the visual appearance of the bark. We systematically reject batches that seem to us to be non-compliant in colour: brown or greenish bark, non-homogeneous. Indeed, this product is also used as a marker in plant mixtures, so its appearance must be as clean as possible.
We also check that insects have not damaged the bark by biting it, and that their eggs have not taken up residence there!
