The Rough Lemon (Citrus jambhiri) is a citrus tree belonging to the Rutaceae family. Native to India, it is widely cultivated in various regions worldwide, including La Convención, Peru. The tree is medium-sized, reaching a height of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters), and has thorny branches. Its glossy, dark green leaves are oval-shaped. The fruit of the Rough Lemon tree is notable for its large size, round shape, and rough texture, which gives the plant its name. When fully ripe, the fruit turns vibrant yellow. Known for its high acidity, the juice of Rough Lemon is tart and sour, making it ideal for use in lemonade and various culinary applications. Rough Lemon trees are known for their resilience and adaptability to different environmental conditions. They exhibit a high tolerance to humidity and are resistant to fungal diseases, making them suitable for cultivation in the Peruvian Amazon region. Due to their hardiness, Rough Lemon trees are often used as rootstocks for grafting other citrus varieties, providing a sturdy foundation for the growth of grafted citrus trees. In culinary use, while the subtle lemon variety is preferred for ceviche in Peru, Rough Lemon stands out for its exceptionally pleasant, strong lemonade. The tart flavor of Rough Lemon adds a refreshing tang to beverages, desserts, and other culinary preparations.

However, due to its adaptability and popularity, the Rough Lemon has been introduced and successfully grown in various other regions around the world, including parts of South America, such as La Convención, Peru.

These plant parts are rich in aromatic compounds and are essential for obtaining the desired fragrance and therapeutic properties of the petitgrain essential oil. After harvesting, the plant material undergoes a meticulous steam distillation process. Steam is passed through the plant material, causing the release of volatile essential oil compounds.

Tthe final product retains the authentic scent and beneficial properties of Rough Lemon petitgrain essential oil.
