What is distilled floral water?
Organic floral waters are distilled from fresh flowers. Although distillation often brings to mind rum, not a single drop of alcohol is involved in the production process… It’s all about water scented with flowers. No added flavouring or alcohol! The flowers are picked one by one and left to rest overnight. They are then poured into a large vat filled with water and heated. Water vapour passes through the petals, charged with fragrant molecules. It rises in the distillation column and transforms into aromatic drops. This distillation yields essential oil and floral water. These two liquids separate by settling, thanks to their difference in density. NOROHY opts for double distillation to ensure the aromatic intensity of your recipes.

Floral waters are a prized ingredient for chefs, pastry chefs, chocolatiers and ice-cream makers. Mixed in with the preparations, they add a refined floral note to their creations.

How to use floral water
Floral waters or hydrolats can be used in cosmetics and cooking! These natural liquid flavors are best used cold, so as not to alter their aromas through high-temperature cooking. A must in the kitchen, floral water is the elegant touch that makes delicious homemade ice creams or chocolate sweets. You can also use it in savory recipes for a wow effect.

How much floral water should I use in my recipe? Measure it right!
Dosage of floral water in a recipe depends on the desired intensity. Depending on the type of flower and its essence content, the quantity also differs. For your convenience, NOROHY recommends one dosage per kilo of preparation on the bottle. Don’t forget our online recipes, which indicate the quantities of NOROHY floral waters. Count on between 30 and 50 g of floral water per kilo of preparation for a pleasant, delicate floral note.
