Description

This candied citron in syrup is made from fruit grown on our estate in Eus, then slowly confited in a sugar syrup designed to preserve both the texture and the aromatic qualities of the fruit.

Citron is an ancient citrus fruit, often considered the ancestor of many modern citrus varieties. It is characterised by a very thick albedo, dense flesh and very little juice. On our terroir, citron develops limited bitterness, a firm texture when fresh, and an excellent aptitude for gentle confiting.

The confiting process softens the flesh, turns the albedo tender and fondant, and reveals a balanced, delicate aromatic profile, without excess sweetness. The syrup acts as a support, accompanying the fruit without masking its expression.

We dedicate a full article to citron, in which we explore its characteristics, history and culinary uses.

Serving suggestions

Candied citron in syrup can be used as both a base ingredient or a finishing element.
It is ideal for pastry and baking (cakes, brioches, biscuits, panettone), and also pairs well with dairy-based desserts, rice pudding or fruit salads.

It can be finely chopped and incorporated into a preparation, or used as is to bring texture and citrus freshness.
The syrup itself can also be used sparingly, to glaze or gently flavour a dessert.
