It is a native of southern China and India. Neroli oil is produced from the flowers of the several citrus species. The oil obtained from bitter orange is called neroli bigarade oil or orange flower oil, the oil sweet orange flowers is called neroli Portugal and the oil from the lemon flowers is called neroli citronier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeroli bigarade is produced in the south of France, Italy, Tunisia, Morocco, Haiti, Guinea and Algeria. Neroli oil is often difficult to obtain and is expensive, thus a number of synthetic substances which should be avoided in aromatherapy are available. As neroli oil is highly water-soluble, the water remaining after the distillation of neroli essential oil contains traces of neroli oil. This is sold as orange flower water which is used in cosmetics and in food flavouring. Orange flower water is often solvent-extracted to recover the oil which is known as orange flower water absolute. This oil has dark to brownish-yellow colour with a intense floral odour. It is used in perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethod of Extraction\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eNeroli essential oil is obtained from the freshly picked flowers by steam distillation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Conventional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and Traditional Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e: The bitter orange was first cultivated in the Mediterranean by Arabs in the 10th and 11th centuries.
