Oil
The blood orange is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region, particularly in Sicily, Italy. It is thought to be a natural hybrid between sweet oranges and tangerines or pomelos. Historically, blood oranges have been prized for their unique color and distinct flavor, leading to their cultivation in various parts of the world.

The essential oil is extracted from the outer peel of blood oranges through a process called cold pressing. This method involves mechanically pressing the orange peels to release the aromatic oils without applying heat, thereby preserving their natural properties and fragrance.
