Description
Our neroli oil is extracted from the blossom of bitter Seville Orange trees on Cape Bon in northern Tunisia - a peninsula that juts out into the Tyrrhenian sea, across from Sicily. The blossoms are hand-picked in the Spring at daybreak, once dew has formed. The flowers are immediately pressed and distilled - every second they sit in the morning sun detracts from the characteristically fresh scent that wooed Anne Marie Orsini, Princess of Nerola, and won the oil its name.
