Pancalieri Piemonte Peppermint

Definition
Raw peppermint essential oil is obtained from the distillation of the green plants coming from the cultivation of the Black Mint, corresponding to the botanical species Mentha Piperita Luds, variety Officinalis sole, species Rubenscens Camus, known as Mitcham Mint (a town in Surrey, England), from the English town where it began to be cultivated.
The essential oil is clear, colorless or straw-yellow, and very fluid. It has a strong and penetrating mint aroma, a peppery taste, and leaves in the mouth a sensation of coolness with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Pancalieri Peppermint Essential Oil can be used in the liquor, confectionery, and pharmaceutical industries.
