Ginger Fresh Oil Madagascar
Fresh ginger essential oil from Madagascar has a sparkling, spicy and zesty scent with peppery and woody undertones. A profile characteristic of the fresh rhizome.
Ginger essential oil is often used at the heart of spicy notes, as well as to complement woody or oriental bases. This product imparts a distinctively spicy freshness to citrus accords and colognes.
Ginger is a herbaceous plant native to India and Malaysia. It produces fleshy rhizomes from which tall, fragrant stems grow, reaching about one metre in height. These stems are topped with long, lance-shaped, evergreen leaves. Its flowers, which grow in spikes, vary in colour from off-white to shades of red and violet.
Cultivation plots are used for two consecutive years, then left fallow for one year to allow the soil to recover its water reserves and production capacity before replanting.
Once the plant has flowered, the rhizomes are ready for harvest, typically five to six months after planting, while they are still fresh and lemony. After harvesting, the rhizomes are immediately steam-distilled to produce fresh ginger essential oil.
The earliest written record of ginger use is found in the Analects of Confucius (Chinese philosopher, c. 551 – c. 479 BCE), which notes that he included ginger in every meal.
