Pomelo (Citrus Paradisi)
Category Hesperide
Citrus, grapefurit, fruity, bitter, green.
Pomelos is the fruit of a tree in the rutaceae family. This large citrus fruit is often confused with grapefruit, which is similar, but often larger and less tasty. The very fragrant, slightly bitter pulp can come in shades of pink or red.
Essential oil of pomelos is obtained by cold-pressing the peel of the fruit.
Pomelos is used in fine fragrance for its lively, tonic, green-accented citrus scent.
Pomelos seems to be a cross between grapefruit (citrus grandis, with a thick peel and many seeds) and lemon. The pomelos hybrid has been produced since the early 19th century. The fruit is very fragrant, with few or no seeds, and a relatively thin skin.
