Fermentation transforms citrus into layered smokiness. Don't stack acid Brighteners.

The fermented complexity of loomi is developed during processing, not from volatile aromatic compounds — which makes it surprisingly stable. Grocery loomi (where available, typically Middle Eastern stores) performs well. Impact adjusted from 4 to 3 only because grocery versions are often ground rather than whole, losing some of the slow-infusion benefit.
