LorAnn Oils Natural Orange 1 Oz L0060-1

If you need a fabulous diffuser oil that is guaranteed pure without any solvents, you just found it. If you need a flavoring that is beyond any extract, or you need a flavoring that can be mixed with chocolate, unlike an extract, you just found it. Many years ago Starbucks had a drink called a mocha Valencia. My favorite. And then it was discontinued. I've been trying to replicate it ever since. I've tried many orange coffee syrups, all were disappointing. Until I found that I could use this instead of a sugary syrup, and get all of that wonderful fresh and slightly bitter orange taste. In creating a dupe for the Starbucks drink, I found that mixing some of this oil with melted chocolate, and then adding it to a regular mocha, created the perfect mocha Valencia. But it's also fantastic in baking. Instead of using a powdered sugar and vanilla icing or drizzle on cinnamon rolls, use this oil instead of vanilla. Insanely delicious. There is no dropper on the top. No eye dropper type, no European essential oil type of dropper. That means that unless you use a spoon touching the lip of the opening and pouring into the spoon, you're going to lose some of this precious oil as it runs down the bottle. I went to their website and purchased an eye dropper that fit. I do need to caution you about something, however. Being a citrus oil, you need a little extra care. If you have sensitive skin and you spill some on your skin, get it off right away. And don't think that you can just put a few drops in water or any liquid and then drink it. Like any oil, it will float to the top, and possibly create a little sensitivity on your tongue. This is strong stuff. I hope that the LorAnn company will offer more and more food grade oils that can be appropriate for aromatherapy or do it yourself toiletries. I would go so far as to say 80% of the so-called essential oils for sale on Amazon are either adulterated, saturated with solvent, or a blend that does not contain what it says it does. For example, frankincense oil is incredibly expensive. There's no way that a pure essential oil of that type is going to be for sale for only a few dollars. And yet you see it all the time here. So many of them that I've purchased, I could smell the solvent. Ewww. You don't want to breathe that, much less ingest it. This company has been making flavorings for longer than I've been alive. I trust them 100%. Anyway, I hope this review has helped you to make a decision about whether or not this particular orange oil is for you. Personally, I wouldn't even hesitate. No matter what you use it for, here's wishing you the most fragrant and flavorful life!

It gave my Old Fashioned a proper professional taste. Like it!

No dyes

It leaked a bit in transit, but was exactly what I needed for the holidays. Our grocery stores stopped carrying the oils and the local candy shops were out. Amazon saved the day so I could make my orange honey butter, orange marmalade rolls, and chocolate covered orange peels for the holidays!

This product has a true and proper orange flavor and aroma. I use it just about anywhere I would use orange zest for convenience and, more importantly, consistency. I can zest an orange, but I don't really know what I'm going to get. With this oil, I know what I'm getting. It is good and potent, too. A teaspoon in large batch of cookies gives a more than subtle orange flavor.
