Orange Peel Cut Bitter

The orange, a cherished fruit from various citrus species in the Rutaceae family, has a vibrant peel that is a powerhouse of flavour and aroma, perfect for a variety of applications.

Bitter orange peel is a versatile gem; it’s a star ingredient in gin, adding a zesty punch to drinks, and you’ll also find it in jams, beverages, and a range of other orange-flavoured delights.

How is orange peel used?

Bitter orange peel is a must-have in gin production, offering a delicious citrus taste that pairs perfectly with spicy or earthy gins. Traditional gin recipes often used Seville oranges for their bitter zest, but sweet oranges have also become popular. Combining orange peel with spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cassia, or adding a hint of rosemary, results in a unique and delightful gin.

Chefs love the zest of orange peel in jams, drinks, and a variety of dishes. Its citrusy essence brightens up flavours, making every bite and sip an experience.

In the beauty industry, orange peel is treasured for its high vitamin C content, which is even greater than the fruit itself. It’s thought to protect the skin from free radical damage, promote a healthy glow, and fight signs of ageing. It’s a powerful addition to facial skincare products.

Beyond its culinary and skincare applications, orange peel is perfect for decorative uses. Add it to potpourri mixes, bath salts, or scrubs for a natural, pleasant scent.
