Elevate your baking with the sophisticated flavour of these Candied Orange Peels, crafted from the revered Japanese Hassaku orange grown in the Wakayama Prefecture. Known for its crisp texture and complex flavour profile — blending refreshing acidity with a deep, pleasant bitterness — the Hassaku orange provides a more nuanced taste than standard navel oranges.

These are not pre-cut strips; they are preserved as large, generous cuts of peel "cups." This format is preferred by professional chefs because it minimizes surface area exposure, keeping the peel softer and more aromatic until the moment you slice it. Whether you need thick, rustic chunks for a holiday fruitcake or paper-thin translucent slices for decorating a mousse, these peels put the control in your hands.

The use of traditional Mizuame (potato/sweet potato starch syrup) in the candying process gives these peels a brilliant, jewel-like sheen and a satisfying chew that isn't overly sticky.

Use & Application

• Baking & Breads: Essential for authentic Panettone, fruitcakes, and brioche.

• Chocolate Work: The large surface area allows you to cut perfect, uniform strips for dipping in dark couverture chocolate (Orangettes).

• Festive Traditions: A mandatory ingredient for traditional Italian Panettone, Colomba Pasquale (Easter dove bread), and rich Christmas Puddings. The high essential oil content ensures the citrus aroma survives long proofing times.
