Bitter Orange is a variety of the citrus family that can remind a lot of "normal" oranges but with a more bitter and strong taste. Bitter Orange have been cultivated in Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean for centuries. Its strong flavor and aroma make it an important ingredient in recipes ranging from jams and chutneys, to cocktails and hot dishes. The intense citrus notes also make its essential oils ideal for use in perfumery, while its anti-inflammatory properties have made it important in traditional medicine.
