Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
The bigaradier is a tree about 3 meters tall in adulthood that provides about 10 to 30 kg of flowers per year at maturity.
The most mature flowers are picked by hand in March and April. They are stored in canvas bags and weighed before they are brought to the extraction plant.
The flowers are inserted into the extractor and water is added directly into the distillation tank, at the rate of 750 kg of water per 1000 kg of flowers. The essential oil is separated from the water of neroli by decantation in a florentine vase.
A ton of flowers gives 1 kg of essential oil (yield of 0.1%).
The bigaradier gives many extracts. The bitter orange EO gives an essential oil by cold expression of the fruit. If we treat branches and twigs by hydrodistillation, we obtain Petitgrain Bigarade EO. Finally, if we use the flower, we can obtain Orange Blossom Absolute (extraction with volatile solvent) and Neroli EO (hydrodistillation).
Uses in perfumery :
Used in oriental and floral perfumes, for an accentuation of fruity apricot notes for example, and in cologne perfumes.

Other comments :
Tunisia is the world leading producer of orange blossom, as the cultivation of bitter orange or bigaradier requires a sunny weather. The importation of this tree in the Maghreb countries dates from the Arab conquests of the 9th and 10th centuries.
The smell of Neroli is fresh, light, greener, citrusy and less animal than the orange blossom absolute.
