Seville oranges, also called bitter oranges, are not as pungently citrusy as the oranges we eat. The dehydrated zest from these oranges is milder and more savory than our regular orange zest, which makes it great for marinades and milder sauces. It is a traditional ingredient in some Scandinavian baking as well.
Your lips drop sweetness like honeycomb by a bride, syrup and milk are under your tongue, and your dress has the scent of Lebanon, Your cheeks are an orchard of pomegranates, an orchard full of rare fruits, spikenard and saffron, sweet cane and cinnamon.
