Badia Sour Orange (Naranja Agria) — 20oz Bottle

Naranja Agria — the bitter orange Cuban kitchens build mojo on

Sour orange is the citrus that makes a real Cuban mojo what it is — more bitter than regular orange, sharper than lime, with that distinctive tropical-bitter aroma. The bottled version skips the seasonal hunting for fresh sour oranges. Badia's Naranja Agria is the standard Cuban-American kitchen bottle.

Substitution if you run out?
