Candied orange slices

🍊 Candied orange slices, a classic with endless uses

Candied orange slices are a staple in the world of candied fruits. Made from whole oranges, they preserve the flesh, peel and zest, resulting in a balanced aromatic intensity that blends sweetness with light bitterness and zesty notes.

Elegant and versatile, they are widely used in baking recipes, as decorative elements, or enjoyed on their own as a confection.

Unlike dehydrated fruits , candied fruits are obtained through a slow candying process. The fruit’s natural water is gradually replaced with sugar syrup, allowing candied orange slices to retain their softness, shine and aromatic richness.
