A floral fragrance

The bigaradier is the name of the tree that produces the bitter orange, which before becoming fruit produces an extremely fragrant flower. This is harvested in the spring and steam-distilled to produce neroli and orange blossom water. It is also possible to produce other ingredients, such as orange blossom absolute and orange blossom water absolute by extraction with volatile solvents. One ton of flowers produces 1 small kilo of neroli. Neroli has gentle orange nuances, far removed from citrus, that are floral, fresh, green, honeyed, warm and sometimes animalic.
