1. Citron (Citrus medica) “Santa Maria” Essential Oil – Cold Pressed This essential oil is derived from oversized fruits reminiscent of prehistoric lemons, belonging to the ancient Liscia-Diamante cultivar and sourced exclusively from the sun-drenched groves of Santa Maria del Cedro, a DOP-designated region renowned for its citrus heritage.
