Candied orange strips are orange peels cut into thin strips and slowly processed with sugar according to the Italian confectionery tradition. Fragrant, soft and rich in citrus aroma, they are ideal for enriching baked goods, leavened products and artisanal preparations.
Candied orange strips are a classic ingredient in traditional confectionery. They are obtained from the peel of selected oranges, cut into thin strips and processed through a slow candying process that allows the fruit to preserve its fragrance, texture and natural flavour.
Thanks to their intense aroma and soft texture, candied orange strips are very versatile in the kitchen and are used in numerous sweet preparations. They are used in the production of large leavened products such as panettone and colomba, in the preparation of biscuits and cakes, but also as a decorative ingredient for desserts and spoon sweets.
In the Sicilian tradition, candied oranges also play a starring role in iconic sweets such as cassata and cannoli, where they contribute to creating a balance between sweetness, citrus freshness and Mediterranean aromas.
Candied orange strips can also be used creatively: added to doughs, granolas, artisanal chocolate or even paired with aged cheeses to create interesting aromatic contrasts.
Perfect for both professional and home use, they represent a precious ingredient for those who wish to bring the authentic scent of Mediterranean citrus fruits to their sweets.
