About This Blend

Citrus extracts like lemon contain a naturally occurring flavor compound that is prone to oxidation, which will have a negative impact on flavor. Cool temperatures and dark environments will help to slow the oxidation process, for that reason we recommend keeping your citrus extracts in the refrigerator.
