The Bitter Orange

The bitter or Seville orange (Citrus aurantium) is the same tree that gives neroli (from the flowers) and petitgrain (from the leaves). Its peel yields a sweet-but-bitter citrus oil with a grapefruit-like edge.

Unlike sweet orange, cold-pressed bitter orange is phototoxic, so it needs the usual citrus care.

Harvesting & Extraction

Bitter Orange oil is cold expressed (cold pressed) from the fresh peel rather than distilled, preserving its sweet-bitter top note. Discover more across our full range of natural essential oils.
