Nielsen-Massey 4 fl. oz. Orange Blossom Water

Details

For centuries, springtime breezes throughout the Mediterranean have carried the heady, intoxicating scent of bitter orange blossoms. The bitter orange tree, originally imported to Spain and Italy from Southeast Asia, has historically been prized throughout Europe for its characteristically bitter fruit and the sweet fragrance of its flowers. The essence and oil of this flower were adored by nobility all over the continent, and were often used medicinally, as a perfume, and as a flavoring for decadent treats. Today, it's easier than ever for you to make delicacies fit for a king with this Nielsen-Massey orange blossom water! Made from the hand-harvested flowers of the bitter orange tree, this fragrant water is made by boiling the delicate blossoms and distilling their fragrant steam into an especially aromatic liquid. This orange blossom water carries the potent taste and aroma of sweet-smelling bitter orange flowers, with a sweet bouquet and a tangy, slightly bitter finish, similar to English marmalade or the flavor of an orange peel. This potent ingredient can easily overpower other flavors in your favorite dishes, so be sure to use it sparingly; less is more!

Orange blossom water is a popular flavor in many classic European treats! Use it to add traditional flavor to French madeleines and gibassiers, or to bring floral aroma to Spanish Roscon de Reyes.

Adding a few drops of orange blossom water to simple yogurts or fruit salads will elevate them and add irresistible, exotic flavor.

While it's most commonly used as a flavoring for desserts, this orange blossom water makes a delicious addition to savory recipes as well!
