The use of rose water dates back to Cleopatra, the fabled beauty of Egypt – She made use of rose water in her beauty regimes. 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.
Bridal ceremonies, especially Indian weddings, in the Middle East and Asia usually incorporate the use of rose water which is a sign of welcoming guests and uplifting their moods, as well as ensuring a happy and joyful marriage.
The ancient Romans were particularly fond of feasts prepared with roses. They had rose wine, rose cakes and pastries, rose sauces for meats and games, and they also nibbled on rose petals which are sprinkled all over the banquet tables. 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.
