Candied Orange Peels, Lemon Peels, and Ginger: A Timeless Delight

Candied orange peels, lemon peels, and ginger are among our oldest specialties. Our century-old confectionery has been crafting candied fruits since 1921, a tradition deeply rooted in the Riviera landscape. European courts used to offer these gourmet gifts that competed in originality and flavor. The mild climate, sunshine, and soil conducive to citrus cultivation have allowed the creation of delicious candied fruits that traveled from the Mediterranean shores to delight a discerning audience.

THE PERFECT BLEND OF TRADITION AND GUSTATORY DISCOVERY

Candied Orange Peels

Delicate and aromatic, the candied orange peel, or orangette, is an irresistible delicacy that combines the freshness of orange with the sweetness of sugar.

Thin strips of orange peel are soaked in sugar syrup, then coated in dark chocolate or simply crystallized. Orangettes have a beautiful orange color, sometimes shiny, that catches the eye.

Under their crunchy exterior, orangettes reveal a refined and invigorating nectar, blending softness and smoothness, offering a very pleasant contrast of textures in the mouth.

They offer a perfect balance between the natural bitterness of orange peel and the sweetness of sugar. The subtle bitterness of orange harmonizes beautifully with the richness of dark chocolate, for a burst of flavors.

Candied Lemon Peels

Candied lemon peels offer a perfect balance between the zesty acidity of lemon and the sweetness of sugar. This subtle balance between tangy and sweet is what makes candied lemon peels so irresistible.

Their lovely golden color makes them perfect for tasting as well as for decorating pastries, fruit salads, and small cakes. Our bakery even makes butter shortbread with our orangettes and citronnettes. A more tonic and invigorating flavor, slightly sparkling, which also wonderfully pairs with dark chocolate to bring richness and a particular depth to the taste experience.

Candied Ginger

Candied ginger, for its part, offers a complex and harmonious palette of flavors. The sweetness of sugar tempers the spiciness of ginger, creating a perfect balance that delights the taste buds.

Candied ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and stimulating properties. Consuming candied ginger can help relieve nausea, improve digestion, and provide natural energy.

Candied ginger can be enjoyed on its own or used to add a spicy and sweet touch to numerous recipes. It is perfect for enhancing pastries, ice creams, fruit salads, and even some savory dishes. It can also be added to teas or cocktails for an original flavor.
