Malandel Orange Flower Water from OliveNation, Imported from France - 16 ounces

Elevate desserts and salads with orange blossom water. It does not taste like oranges, btw. Just a splash adds a delightful essence to rice puddings, icings, baked goods, and fruit-based salads. This brand is top shelf.

I have been using this splash of orange to sliced orange salads for years. A perfect salad to serve with Moroccan meals. You just cant beat the flavor it adds. Great on sliced grapefruit salads as well.

This had a chemical taste to it and I wouldn’t dare ruin a old traditional recipe using it, so I ended up using regular orange extract. So disappointing and unable to return it,so money wasted.

This orange flower water is pretty good. You have to be very careful and start with just a tad and then taste and if it needs more, add it in very small amounts. If you do this, you will get a taste kind of similar to the real orange flowers, but not exactly the same. But overall, you do get a pleasant taste if you are careful.Orange Flower Water 16 oz.

The smell is too bitter, and not sweet enough... as the old A. Monteux Orange Flower Water sadly. Not too happy but oh well. I suppose the A Monteux man retired, and it is impossible to get anywhere online. Bummer I must say.The bitterness overpowers the sweet, and I really do not recommend. Also, it isn't as fragrant in terms of potency as the A Monteux... Sad.HORRIBLE. please do NOT buy this orange flower water in the blue bottle from france. it is NOT the MONTEUX. the bitter notes WAAAAAAY outdo the sweet ones. horrible. dumped down the drain. I let others smell it and they thought the same thing, so it was NOT just me.UPDATE: i tried the cortas brand, and it is MUCH better...... from Lebanon. Do yourself a favor and don't waste this money. The cortas, although not the Monteux, is MUCH sweeter than this bitter pill. YUCK

Typically this product is harder to find then most in its class, we purchase it for our restaurant/bar and use it in our signature cocktails. Only a few drops at a time adds the perfect 'creamsicle' twist to any drink, and our customers have been raving about it lately. We also find this product great when used to flavor pastry and food items, since it contributes a subtle orange taste (the flavor profile is almost that of orange oil from the skin of the fruit; tart yet mellow and smooth).Great Value and quality for the size and price. Super fast shipping as well.

This product arrived in a very timely manner and EXTREMELY well packed. I would buy from this vendor again. I needed the orange flower water for some Moroccan Cookies I was baking. You can see my Moroccan Ghoriba in my Flickr gallery (isabel95)in the recipes section. The linked recipe, I wanted to warn you, left out the flour, so add some to be able to roll the cookies into balls!

I'm probably spoiled, but I discovered orange flower water from an amazing vintage bottle of Reese de Paris.This one is definitely not as good. In general it isn't as rich and wonderful and nuanced. It also has a bitter flavor, which I suspect is because it was made from bitter orange blossoms. Depending on your tastes (and what you are making) you might like this. Orange water can legitimately be made more or less bitter, depending on the country and the purpose it is being used for.Given that this product is advertised as coming from the bitter orange, I'm not taking off a star for the bitterness...just for the the overall flavor. The orange water I like best is smoother with a more intense orange flavor. The closest version I've found so far to the original Reese's that was so delicious is Essential Pantry Orange Blossom Water from chefshop.com, not on Amazon as of this writing. This version is also less bitter, which I prefer for most applications I currently use (lemonade, sweet almond drinks, cucumber and other salads, tagines) but I may find a recipe where the bitter is better.Another issue I have, and for which I took off another star, is that it has potassium sorbate as a preservative. Label says "potassium sorbate (0.1%) as preservative." This is a common food preservative and "generally recognized as safe." However I try to ingest as few chemicals as possible, and I wonder if this preservative is part of the reason I don't find this water as tasty and smooth on the tongue.In any case, to be fair, it's likely that many foreign imports have preservatives added and simply don't add it to the label. My fave (Essential Pantry) is imported from Morocco and does not list a preservative...but who knows...maybe there is one but if so I'm not tasting it. Is a preservative really needed? Well, many larger makers do add it. I had a 15 or 20-year-old bottle of Reese's, which did not list a preservative and which was absolutely delicious. But orange water can be contaminated with mold or bacteria and if you prefer to be "safer" rather than more natural you will likely prefer it with the preservative.
