Pomelo Zest

Pomelo zest comes from the outer peel of the pomelo fruit, which is the largest citrus fruit, closely related to grapefruits. When zested, the pomelo peel releases aromatic oils that deliver a burst of fragrance. Its scent profile is distinctly citrusy, characterized by a fresh, bright, and slightly sweet aroma, with hints of lemon and orange, though generally milder than its citrus relatives. Unlike other citrus fruits, pomelo zest has a unique floral undertone that sets it apart, reminiscent of blossoming citrus groves. This zest is often used in culinary dishes to add a nuanced, vibrant note, enhancing sweet and savory dishes with a complex blend of freshness and subtle tanginess.
