Refreshingly aromatic, Nielsen-Massey's Orange Blossom Water brings the sweet perfume of the orange grove to a variety of dishes. Also known as the Essential Oil of Neroli, or orange flower water, orange blossom water is produced by water distillation of the blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus Aurantium) from the Middle East and Spain.
