Description
Nielsen-Massey Rose Water is a fragrant culinary flavoring with delicate floral notes that can transform both sweet and savory recipes. Made with rose oil and natural flavors, it brings the distinctive perfume of rose petals to pastries, desserts and beverages.
Rose water also has a special connection to traditional German marzipan. The classic recipe for fine marzipan is based on almonds, sugar and rose water, with the delicate floral aroma complementing the natural fragrance of almonds without making the confection taste overtly of roses. Germany’s famous Niederegger confectionery in Lübeck still describes the traditional formula as essentially almonds, sugar and rose water, although its own modern recipe uses a closely guarded proprietary ingredient in its place. For home bakers, a few drops of Nielsen-Massey Rose Water can add this traditional aromatic note to homemade marzipan, marzipan cookies, Stollen fillings, marzipan cakes and Christmas confections.
The convenient 2 fl oz (59 ml) bottle is ideal for home baking and specialty recipes. Try Nielsen-Massey Rose Water in marizpan, stollen, baklava, rice pudding, French macarons, panna cotta, cookies, pastry creams and glazes, or add a few drops to tea, sparkling water, lemonade, smoothies and cocktails. Rose pairs particularly well with strawberries, raspberries, lychee, mango, vanilla, pistachios, and dark or white chocolate, making this a surprisingly versatile ingredient for creative desserts.
Nielsen-Massey Rose Water is made with cane alcohol, natural flavors, glycerin and rose oil. It is Kosher Certified, Certified Gluten-Free and Non-GMO Project Verified.
