Curaçao Orange Peel
© Copyright 2012. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.
The peel of Curaçao Oranges is actually green before it is dried; the skin doesn't ripen to orange. When dried, the peel actually looks mouldy, though it is not; it is greenish-greyish-blue on one side and white on the other.
Most of the peel is used in making liqueurs such as Curaçao.
The orange peel is also used in making some Belgian beers such as Witbier. It is also very popular with home brewers, though it usually has to be specially ordered by mail.
