Orangettes and Aiguillettes Assortment
Tender oranges, lemons and pomelos crystallised by us and coated in milk or dark chocolate.
Tenderness enables the expressive essential oils in our orangettes and aiguillettes to lay themselves bare.
Tender and tasty orangettes and aiguillettes made from organic Navel oranges from Sicily and organic pomelos from Menton. Our orangettes and aiguillettes are crystallised by us, in a continuous process at a low temperature to preserve the fruit's essential oils and obtain a soft texture. They are then coated in 70% cacao dark chocolate for the orangettes and 45% milk chocolate for the lemon and pomelo aiguillettes.

A Word from our Chocolate Master
Our crystallised fruits are the result of many years of research and development which mean we are now able to use a unique crystallising process during which we use the entire fruit (peel and juice) and reduce the amount of glucose syrup needed to a minimum by working with the natural inversion of sugars. At the centre of this approach is the fruit - both in how it is chosen and how it is processed. We strive to maintain the fruit's flavour by working it at low temperatures. Crystallisation requires patience and is painstaking; it is, above all, an age-old preserving technique which aims to replace the fruit's vegetation water with sugar by progressively, and at regular intervals, increasing the concentration of preserving syrup sugar. We make our crystallised fruit during the citrus season (from January to March). Each crystallisation session lasts five days and five nights during which the syrup is "freshened up" every eight hours. The fruit is then stored in its syrup for a year and then coated in chocolate as and when needed to fill the shop's shelves.
Our Advice
We want you to get as much pleasure as possible out of our crystallised fruits which is why they are only slightly dried before being coated. In fact, the soft texture of our orangettes is essential to the perception of the tastes and scents of the Sicily Navel oranges. It is possible that our orangettes "pearl" - that a droplet of syrup appears at the tip of the orangette. For us, this is a sign of just how well the tenderness of the confectionery has been preserved. Orangettes can be enjoyed any time of the day at room temperature (between 16°C and 24°C) accompanied by a cup of tea, a glass of champagne or white wine, a glass of Niepoort Port, of Barbeito Madeira wine or of Bodega Hidalgo sherry.
