Organic tangerine zest

Organic mandarin zest is a high-quality, natural aromatic ingredient with a characteristic peel aroma and a bright, bittersweet citrus intensity. It is derived from fresh organic mandarins, the peels of which are removed and dried using a gentle method to preserve the fruit's natural aroma, sweet freshness, and concentrated character.

The Ingredient We Use

We use zest from high-quality organic mandarins, dried without additives. Its color is light orange-yellow, with a fine, slightly crisp texture and natural citrus radiance. Its aromatic intensity remains consistent with every use.

Botanical Identity

The mandarin (Citrus reticulata, fam. Rutaceae) is one of the most aromatic citrus fruits, with a sweet, bright, and characteristic fruity acidity. Its peel is rich in essential oils, which offer an intense, bittersweet, and warm citrus flavor. Drying the zest allows for year-round use without any loss of aroma.
