Legend: Originally the oil was produced in distilleries from unripe oranges when they were the size of cherries. This explains why it is named petitgrain – which in French means little grains. Nonetheless, as this proved to be too expensive and so the oil began being extracted from the leaves and twigs of the orange tree instead.
