Two Bottles That Transform a Dish
Rose water and orange blossom water are the unsung heroes of Middle Eastern kitchens. Just a few drops can add depth, tradition, and aroma to everything from rice to desserts.
What Is Rose Water?
Distilled from rose petals, rose water has a soft floral flavour that adds elegance to sweet dishes, drinks, and syrups. The scent is delicate—but the impact is powerful.
What Is Orange Blossom Water?
Made from the distillation of orange blossoms, this fragrant water adds a citrusy lift. It’s often used in pastries and puddings, giving them that bright, floral finish.
Why Cortas Is the Trusted Brand
At Harkola, we stock only the best. Cortas Rose Water and Orange Blossom Water have been staples for generations. Pure, potent, and consistent—they’re pantry essentials.
Popular in Sweet and Savoury Cooking
While best known for desserts, these waters also enhance savoury dishes. Add a splash of rose water to Persian rice or use orange blossom in marinades for a subtle floral twist.
Use in Traditional Desserts
Use rose water in Mouhalabieh (milk pudding), Turkish delight, or baklava syrup. Orange blossom water shines in semolina cakes, cookies, and custards.
A Drop Is All You Need
These waters are strong—use sparingly. Start with ¼ teaspoon, taste, and adjust. You want a gentle perfume, not a bottle-of-perfume situation.
Perfect for Drinks and Cocktails
Add a dash to sparkling water, lemonade, or cocktails for a sophisticated Middle Eastern twist. Think rosewater lemonade or orange blossom spritzers.
