Tales from Nature
The Lemon traces its roots back thousands of years in the fertile regions of South Asia, between India and China, reaching the West via the ancient Mediterranean trade routes. Appreciated since antiquity for its aesthetic and aromatic value, this citrus fruit became a symbol of prestige and vigor in classical cultures.
Extraction of the essential oil destined for cosmetic excellence is mainly by cold pressing of the flavedo, the outermost part of the fresh peel. This mechanical process allows the pure essence contained in the oil glands to be harvested, preserving the molecular integrity of the plant.
A historical curiosity reveals that, during the Renaissance era, lemons were considered gifts of the highest rank, reserved exclusively for the tables of kings and nobles.
