The Lemon tree is thought to have originated in India, and to have been introduced into Italy towards the end of the 5th century. From Italy, cultivation spread throughout the Mediterranean basin, and particularly to Spain and Portugal, though California now rivals the traditional growing areas in commercial terms. The essential oil is pressed from the outer rind of the lemons - it takes as many as 3,000 of them to produce a kilo of essential oil.
