Organic Orange Blossom Hydrolate

Part of the Rutaceae family, Orange Blossom comes from the Orange tree, a fruit tree with thorny branches and evergreen foliage. It is widely cultivated in Mediterranean regions, notably Spain, southern France, Italy and North Africa.

This tree, generally between 5 and 10 meters tall, has grayish-colored bark and lanceolate, dark-green, glossy leaves. The fragrant white flowers, known as orange blossoms, generally appear between April and June and are hermaphroditic, possessing both male and female organs.

Orange blossom hydrosol, also known as orange blossom floral water, is obtained by distilling fresh blossoms. This transparent, colorless liquid has a delicate floral fragrance, with sweet, slightly fruity notes.
