Orange Peel, Organic

Finally something that smells and tastes like the fresh version. Upcycled organic Orange zest

In addition to spices, fresh citrus zest is of course one of our absolute favourite seasonings. Nothing lends the same freshness, sweetness and acidity as citrus zest. We are proud to offer our dried and coarse/fine ground orange zest powder – a product full of flavour, colour, and character.

A surplus product with a sublime taste

Our organic orange granules are actually a residual product from the production of dried orange slices. The end pieces and the irregular slices from the oranges in this production process are difficult to use. But by drying and coarsely grinding them into a powder - voilà - we have a new spice! It feels great to know that a residual product can be transformed into an extremely tasteful, beautiful, usable product. It goes without saying that we are not the first in the world to think of drying an orange. But by drying the zest of the fruit together with the flesh, we avoid the excessive bitterness that such granules often have. In our case, we infuse the fresh taste of orange juice into coarsely ground powder. Unlike dried lemon zest (which often loses its colour), our coarse/fine ground orange retains their beautiful orange colour, making them perfect for decorating the likes of cakes and desserts.

What do you use it for?

Fresh orange zest is wonderful in sweet recipes, especially when combined with chocolate. Use it as a 100% natural flavour enhancer on a chocolate muffin, in a fruit salad, or in a mousse. But it can also add depth to savoury dishes. Try it in an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing, or mix the coarsely ground powder with herbs for oven-baked fish.
The powder can also be used in cocktails: e.g. on the foam of an Espresso Martini or on the edge of the glass for an Old Fashioned.
