Description
Nielsen-Massey Orange Blossom Water adds an elegant floral and citrus aroma to both sweet and savory recipes. Inspired by the fragrant blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), this traditional flavoring brings the perfume of an orange grove to cakes, cookies, custards, puddings, candies and other confections. Orange blossom water has a long culinary tradition in Middle Eastern, Persian, Turkish and Indian cuisines, where its distinctive floral character adds complexity without the acidity of orange juice.
Orange blossom water is a lovely addition to German holiday baking. Use a small amount to perfume Christmas cookies, marzipan, stollen, festive cakes, lebkuchen and almond pastries, or add it to icing, glaze, whipped cream and dessert sauces. Its floral citrus character complements traditional holiday flavors such as almond, hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate, dried fruit and warm spices, offering a refined variation on classic German Christmas treats.
The convenient 2 fl oz (59 ml) bottle goes a long way, as only a small amount is needed to flavor most recipes. Try it in baklava, madeleines, almond pastries, cakes, rice pudding, gelato or whipped cream, or add a splash to tea, lemonade and cocktails. Its delicate orange-flower aroma pairs especially well with vanilla, chocolate, almond, cream, lemon and other citrus flavors. It can also add an intriguing floral note to dressings and marinades.
Nielsen-Massey Orange Blossom Water is Kosher certified, Certified Gluten-Free and Non-GMO Project Verified. The current U.S. formula lists cane alcohol, glycerin, natural flavors and orange oil.
