Lemongrass essential Oil also called Indian Verbena is 100% pure and natural. It is obtained by distilling the leaves of the plant sourced in Indonesia by the association Coeur de Forêt.

A great classic of perfumery, its fragrance is fresh and citrusy as well as aromatic and spicy. A fabulous oil that is first used as a binder in an aromatic composition. But not only, since the bulb of the lemongrass is a basic flavouring agent in Indonesian dishes. And its many benefits make its essential oil a widely used product in natural medicine especially for its anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory properties.

Perfumery

OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION

Lemongrass essential oil is a classic in terms of olfactory, therapeutic and culinary properties. Nevertheless its power does not alter its great sophistication. It is lemony, but also highly aromatic and spicy, while retaining a freshness to any test. Gradually leaving its citrus notes behind, the fragrance moves into olfactory recesses close to geranium and rose, before joining the green and earthy trail of a persistent herb like basil. The food dimension is gradually increasing, approaching coriander and carrot seed, to finally fade into the dull, murky earth.

Essential oils are also very concentrated, a single drop is often enough to flavor your cold dishes, when we consider a maximum of 2 to 3 drops on a hot dish. Be careful with their use in cooking, too much of them can be dangerous or even fatal. If in doubt, contact a specialist.

Recipes

We recommend lemongrass essential oil for a little touch of flavor, but use it sparingly or you may have to taste your dish several times before tasting it.

Some recipe ideas :

• White meat (chicken, turkey) – 1 to 2 drops
• Salmon Ceviche with coconut milk – Spread well, 1 to 2 drops are enough
• On a grilled fish (sea bass or sea bream) Be careful with the power
