CIDRALIS is a French company created in 2015 in Barrettali by a producer of Corsican citron fruit and owner of the Les Cédrats du Cap Corse gardens and by a pharmacist and Doctor of Science.
The citron is a legendary fruit that was used as an antidote in ancient times. This ancestor of citrus fruits, from the Citrus medica citron tree, was introduced to the Mediterranean basin by Alexander the Great.
Until the Middle Ages, it was the only representative of the Citrus genus in the Mediterranean basin.
The Corsican variety of citron was a source of great wealth for Cap Corse in the 19th century, thanks to its use in making sweets.
This variety is of unknown origin, but it is different to the others. It is particularly distinguished by the colour of its flowers, the scent of its fruit, and its soft pulp with no acidity.
The citron fruit is sensitive to cold and heat, and Corsica represents the northern boundary of its development area. The uniqueness of the Corsican citron is thus probably due to a natural mutation related to its location. The citron fruit ultimately fell into oblivion because it is difficult to grow and because it has multiple seeds and a thick white pith (albedo), which nonetheless contains very high concentrations of antioxidant and anti-free-radical substances.
In 2008, out of love for the natural heritage and motivated solely by a desire to revive a highly emblematic product, Xavier Calizi decided to replant citron fruits in Cap Corse and redevelop the Corsican variety.
All CIDRALIS extracts are obtained only from fruits grown in these gardens.
CIDRALIS cosmetics products are made in France by a network of independent experts.
