This strange bitter orange variety stands out for its furrowed skin, but is consumable like most other bitter orange varieties: Petitgrain aroma oil is extracted especially from the immature fruit (and also from the leaves) of the bitter orange. Fragrant and aromatic oils from the blossom are sold as neroli oil or orange blossom water. Dried flowers are often added to flavoured teas. The bitter tasting juice of the bitter oranges is processed together with the peel to the Italian bitter orange lemonade “Aranciata Amara” and “Curaçao” liquor. Orange jam is made from the whole ripe fruit. The peel can be candied.
