Characteristics

The cold pressed orange oil is a by-product of orange juice production and represents approximately 5% of the turnover of the large orange juice producers in Brazil and Florida.  The oil is expressed from the skin as the orange fruit is squashed to produce the juice.  The oil is then processed further and the waxes removed through chilling and centrifugation.
