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. That is why we are also proud to present our new dried Orange Zest.

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 granulating them - 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 the granules. Unlike dried lemon zest (which often loses its colour), our orange granules retains their beautiful orange colour, making them perfect for decorating the likes of cakes and desserts.

What do you use it for?

Fresh orange is wonderful for sweet recipes, especially when combined with chocolate. Use it as a 100% natural flavour on a chocolate muffin, in a fruit salad or in a mousse. But orange zest can also add flavour to savoury dishes. Try orange zest in an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing or mix the it with herbs for an oven-baked fish dish.
The granules 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.
