The one we offer is grown in Madagascar.

We offer you a high quality product, zests finely taken from selected fruits and which have not undergone any chemical treatment. These zests are slowly dried in the sun which gives them this incomparable aroma made of freshness and delicacy with a dominant of lemon, lime but with sweet notes evoking candied citron zests. A lovely camphorated and minty smell, reminiscent of eucalyptus, with a pungent touch reminiscent of ginger.
