However the most significant origin traces back to regions of ancient Persia, modern day Iran and the Middle East. Arabic doctors were the first to use roses as a remedy in the form of a jam, while Arabian women used roses as an ingredient in their eye cosmetics. The chemist Avicenna, hailing from Persia, was the one who refined our modern rose water’s mass production through the process of steam distillation.

Rose water is still highly valued in the food industry due to its distinctive floral rose flavour, especially for sweets, such as baklava, Turkish delights, gumdrops, and nougat.
