Essential Oils
A beautiful evergreen shrub, joyfully coloured by its berries, native to Central and South America and now cultivated in many regions with a mild and sunny climate. Used in cooking for their original olfactory notes, also appreciated in decoration for their touch of cheerfulness, these delicate pink berries give a fresh and gently spicy essential oil.
