Description

Orange oil is an essential oil extracted from the orange peel, known for its fresh and sweet citrus aroma that adds a vibrant and fragrant touch to various culinary preparations. This ingredient is primarily used in baking recipes, sauces, dressings, and beverages to enhance flavors and add a natural citrus note.

Orange oil originates from regions where oranges are cultivated, especially the Mediterranean, Latin America, and parts of Asia. It is obtained through cold pressing of the fruit's peel, thus preserving its aromatic properties and pure essence.

Properties: It is rich in antioxidant compounds and has a natural aroma that can help balance and refresh both sweet and savory dishes. Furthermore, in cooking, it is used in moderation due to its concentration to add flavor without adding moisture or altering the texture.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: essential oil of orange, orange essence, citrus oil of orange.
