Sour oranges have only minor uses as fresh fruit but are normally used for processing (marmalade or rind oil). True
Curacao peel is derived from a variety of the bitter orange tree, the so-called varietas curassaviensis. The tree is cultivated on the
island of Curacao. The peel is the only part used. The green peels are also dried and sold for pharmaceutical and botanical uses.

bitter orange oil. | [Occurrence]
