The Orange
The energy of the Mediterranean in a jar: the orange captures all the warmth and liveliness of Sicily.
APPEARANCE: an intense, warm and bright orange colour, enriched by visible thin strips of peel, naturally candied during cooking.
ON THE NOSE: a bold, fresh and sunny citrus bouquet that immediately releases the scent of the essential oils in the peel and the sweetness of fresh juice.
ON THE PALATE: an explosion of skilfully balanced contrasts. The first impression is soft and sweet, quickly followed by the freshness of the citrus and rounded off by the pleasantly bitter touch of the peel, which gives a chewy, three-dimensional texture.
Ideal Pairings
Orange marmalade is a pillar of tradition and a true wild card for both sweet and savoury pairings.
At breakfast
Wonderful on a slice of warm multigrain bread with a thin layer of butter, or spread straight into a plain croissant.
As a gourmet touch
Excellent with mature, full-flavoured cheeses that offset its tangy edge, such as a medium-aged Pecorino Romano, a Parmigiano Reggiano aged over 24 months or intense blue cheeses like Gorgonzola piccante.
In patisserie
Perfect for glazing duck à l’orange or pork fillets, ideal as a filling for dark chocolate muffins or as a base for soaking and filling a citrus torta caprese.
