Calabrian Orange Extract - 1L

Our orange essence is made only from high quality Italian oranges and contains no bulking agents, and so is much stronger than even the best supermarket versions. A 1L plastic bottle for chefs.

Did you know that it takes 400kg of orange peels to make just 2 litres of this essential oil? The peels are cold pressed and the resultant liquid is then centrifuged (spun) to separate the essential oils and juice. There is about 2 litres of essential oil and 280 litres of concentrate which goes off to be used in other foods such as soft drinks.

Bakery expert Dan Lepard describes it as...

"Here the essential oil of sweet oranges gives an intense sweet boost to any cakes, sweets and desserts that contain orange zest or candied peel. Paired with dark chocolate, mixed with fruit mincemeat, or added to water icing brushed over warm muffins."
