Orange Peel Bitter Cut (Haiti) (Citrus Aurantium)

Orange Peel Bitter Cut (Haiti) (Citrus aurantium) is a bold, aromatic, and intensely flavorful citrus ingredient, derived from the dried peel of bitter oranges grown in Haiti. Unlike sweet orange peels, this variety has a distinctively sharp, slightly floral, and mildly spicy bitterness, making it a valuable component in culinary, herbal, and beverage applications.

Traditionally, Bitter Orange Peel is used to aid digestion, support metabolic health, and add depth to bitters, liqueurs, and herbal remedies. It is a key ingredient in classic cocktail bitters, digestive tonics, and aperitifs, as well as in spice blends, teas, and marinades that benefit from a bright citrus complexity.

When brewed, Orange Peel Bitter Cut produces a deep golden infusion with a bold citrus aroma and a pleasantly bitter, zesty flavor. It pairs exceptionally well with cloves, cinnamon, gentian root, cardamom, chamomile, and black tea, enhancing blends with its complex citrus depth.

Each batch of Orange Peel Bitter Cut (Citrus aurantium) is carefully dried and cut to preserve its natural essential oils and potent flavor. Whether used in crafting herbal bitters, brewing citrus-forward teas, flavoring spirits, or creating homemade spice blends, this Haitian Bitter Orange Peel provides a rich, sophisticated citrus intensity that elevates both culinary and wellness applications.
