Candied fruits premium for baking and desserts

Candied fruits are an emblematic part of French gourmet tradition. Made in Provence, they reflect a recognised artisanal know-how focused on enhancing fruit through sugar.

The fruit candying process is based on a gradual method where the natural water content of the fruit is slowly replaced with sugar. This gentle process preserves the fruit’s shape, ensures a tender texture, and intensifies its natural aromas.

Thanks to their glossy appearance and rich flavour, candied fruits from Provence are widely appreciated in pastry making. They are used in many traditional recipes, as well as for dessert decoration and contemporary sweet creations.

Candied fruits can also be incorporated sparingly into gourmet preparations to add colour, texture, and aromatic depth.
