Latest Market Information on Lemon Oil Argentina
May 24th, 2024
The Argentina lemon season is currently underway, with total harvest figures estimated at around 1.65 million metric tons. Due to extreme weather and heat waves within the region, production estimates were lowered from their previous forecast of 1.77 million metric tons. There is also a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the current geopolitical situation within Argentina, as exporters of lemon are facing new restrictions on currency exchange rates (USD) amidst a shifting economic model.
Description of Lemon Oil Argentina
Lemon Oil Argentina is cold-pressed from the peels of Citrus limon fruits, better known as the common lemon. The tree likely has its origins in northeast India, though it was eventually introduced to the Americas after Spanish explorers brought citrus seeds to New World colonies. The aroma of lemon oil is light and fresh, with a sweet and fruity odor highly reminiscent of fresh lemon peels. In perfumery, it is often used for its “refreshing” qualities, making it a common inclusion in lotions, creams, colognes, and various air care products. The flavor of lemon oil is similar to its aroma, exhibiting a refreshingly fruity and aldehydic tinge that goes well in candies, soft drinks, and countless other packaged goods. When blended with vanilla notes, lemon oil produces an old-fashioned “custard” flavor that is also highly appealing in frozen treats.
