Floral citrus aroma from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree.
Nielsen-Massey Orange Blossom Water is a delicately perfumed, steam-distilled essence made from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). Also known as the Essential Oil of Neroli, this fragrant ingredient has long been a staple in Persian, Arabic, Indian, and Turkish cuisines, adding a sweet floral lift to both sweet and savoury recipes.
With its refreshing, citrus-floral character, orange blossom water brings elegance to custards, cookies, and confections, while also pairing beautifully with chocolate, vanilla, almond, and lemon. A few drops go a long way—use it to enhance baked goods, desserts, cocktails, or even tea.
