NAUTICA Origanum Essential Oil - Food Grade - 20G

Features

Description

Nautica Origanum Essential Oil is an organic origanum, also known as oregano, essential oil used in food flavour applications, aromatic blending and personal care formulation. It has a strong, herbaceous character and should be used only in very small amounts because it can easily dominate a blend or recipe.

This is a concentrated essential oil, not a carrier oil, and it is oil soluble rather than water soluble. It is suitable for food and cosmetic use when used correctly. Why we love it: Origanum essential oil brings a bold, unmistakably herbal note to flavour and fragrance work. It is especially useful for experienced makers who want a strong natural character in culinary applications, soaps or aromatic blends where only a tiny amount is needed.
