Mantara
Orange Blossom Water
From Mantara, nestled in Maghdouche, Lebanon, 250 meters above the sparkling Mediterranean. Known as the "Capital of Neroli" for our vast orange blossom fields and time-honored traditions, our water is crafted from blossoms grown in perfect harmony with nature. Rich soil, a sun-drenched climate, and rain-fed agriculture create ideal conditions. We utilize a state-of-the-art distillery, one of the most advanced in the Middle East, for concentrated essence. Our blossoms are hand-picked at the peak of their fragrance, ensuring the purest, most exquisite orange blossom water.
Orange blossom water, also known as neroli water, is a fragrant liquid made by distilling the petals of the bitter orange tree. Here's a breakdown of its definition and uses:
• Culinary: Popular in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean desserts like baklava, rice puddings (rez b halib), and Lebanese white coffee. Adds a floral and citrusy touch to baked goods and beverages.
• Beauty: Used in toners and skincare products for its potential benefits of promoting circulation and a healthy glow. May also help reduce pore size.
• Traditional: In some cultures, orange blossom water is used as a perfume or hand sanitizer for guests. It also has a history of medicinal uses.
