Lime peel essential oil
Citrus aurantifolia
Vỏ chanh ta · Rutaceae
Sharp, green, so pointed it almost cuts. Compared with lemon it is more pointed and fades faster.
Cold pressing keeps that sharpness; distillation does not. The distilled oil is rounder and softer, and loses exactly what makes a Vietnamese lime.
This is the easiest oil to check with your bare hands: squeeze a lime, smell the peel, then smell the bottle. If the bottle is rounder and sweeter than the real fruit, what you are holding is not cold-pressed, whatever the label says.
