Candied fruit with chocolate: A timeless delicacy from Confiserie Florian

The elegance of contrast
Indulgence is born from contrast—sweet and bitter, bright and deep, smooth and textured. Few creations capture this harmony as beautifully as candied fruit with chocolate. At Confiserie Florian, nestled in the heart of Nice, tradition meets innovation to craft exquisite delicacies for connaisseurs.  

From succulent orange slices coated in dark chocolate to the bold warmth of candied ginger, each bite unveils layers of complexity. And for the most comforting indulgence, a white chocolate tablet infused with candied fruit, merging sweetness and citrus notes in perfect balance.  

The art of candied fruit: A Provençal tradition 
Candying fruit is a meticulous process—a dance between patience and craftsmanship. At Confiserie Florian, every orange sliver, ginger piece, and citrus slice is hand-selected, slowly candied, and preserved at peak flavour.  
Provence has long embraced this art. Since the 14th century, master confectioners have perfected the infusion of fruits with sugar, ensuring a soft texture and radiant taste. Each piece undergoes an extended “confisage”, allowing natural essences to blend seamlessly with sweetness.  

Confiserie Florian carries on this tradition with unmatched expertise, transforming the best seasonal fruits into culinary gems, each destined to pair exquisitely with chocolate.

A story behind the creation: From merchant routes to modern craftsmanship

In Nice, this tradition evolved through Confiserie Florian, whose artisans refined the process into an art form. The infusion of Provence’s best fruits with chocolate became a mark of excellence, earning its place in the homes of gourmets and lovers of fine confections.
