## About
Pour it into a glass beaker and it looks deep gold; pour it out again and the glass is left coated in a bright, fluorescent, neon yellow. Turmeric CO2 is one of the most vivid things in the cabinet, and its scent is gentler than its color: sweet, fresh and mildly spicy, with an earthy note underneath.It is Curcuma longa, CO2 extracted in Germany from organically grown rhizomes grown and dried in India. The oil is high in some unique ketones, the turmerones. It does contain the curcuminoids of the powdered spice, but only in trace amounts, so it is a different thing from the turmeric in your kitchen jar and best known on its own terms.DetailsBotanical name: Curcuma longaMethod: CO2 extraction, GermanyRhizomes organically grown and dried in IndiaRich in turmerones; curcuminoids in trace amounts onlyShelf life: about 3 to 4 years after openingHow to useBecause it is high in ketones, use it with caution and in low dilution, in a carrier oil or a warm, spiced blend.
