Neroli from Seville 2020

This Neroli is from the groves of over 100-year-old Bitter Orange trees outside Seville, distilled by a long established supplier of Seville Oranges to producers of British Marmalade. We have carried the oil from these magnificent trees for over two decades.

The fragrance is narcotic reassuring Neroli. What sets it apart from other, more citrussi specimens is a light note of fresh bread, typical for Neroli from the more Northern latitude of Seville.
