Bitter Orange | Citrus senensis (Isreal)

Scent: Reminiscent of bergamot, grapefruit and sweet orange, but overall, the odor is distinctly different from that of other citrus oils. It is a different type of freshness, a peculiar floral undertone which occasionally shows indolic notes and a comparatively good intensity.

Uses: Bitter Orange oil is used extensively in flavors where it forms the main ingredient in the "orange sec" or "triple sec" liqueur flavors.

Cold pressed Bitter Orange oil is a mobile liquid of dark yellow to olive-yellow or pale brownish yellow color. The odor is very peculiar, fresh and yet "bitter" or "dry" but with a rich and lasting, sweet undertone.
