Candied citrus peel consists of the zest of oranges, lemons, mandarins, or sometimes grapefruits. It is carefully prepared by slowly cooking the peel in a sugar syrup to preserve its fragrance while softening its natural bitterness.

This process gives them a soft, slightly translucent texture and a sweet taste with a subtle tang.

Highly prized in baking, they add an intense and refined aromatic note. These flavors enhance cakes, cookies, gingerbread, chocolates, and confections.

They are also used to decorate and flavor certain festive dishes, delicately introducing a hint of Christmas or citrus.

Thanks to their powerful flavor, even a small amount is enough to transform your desserts and give them an elegant, indulgent touch 😋
