Lemon Myrtle | Bextract™ | Backhousia citriodora is a Supercritical C02 extraction from locally grown Lemon Myrtle. One of the most recognisable Australian native flavours, Lemon Myrtle is widely recognisable and valued for it’s sweet, yet spicy flavour with intense citrus backbone. This flavour profile makes it suitable for both sweet & savoury applications.
