Sussade - Dark Chocolate-Dipped Candied Orange Peel

Bittersweet, bright, elegant.

Our take on a classic confection. We hand-cut strips of orange peel, simmer them slowly in sugar syrup until tender and translucent, air-dry them for texture, then dip each one in our single-origin Ghana 70% dark chocolate. Bitter citrus oil, lush candied sweetness and deep roasted cacao in slender, jewel-like pieces.

Sizes

Sold by weight. Each piece is cut and dipped by hand, so sizes vary a little; as a guide:

• 2.5 oz: about 10 to 14 pieces
• 5 oz: about 20 to 28 pieces
• 10 oz: about 40 to 55 pieces

Tasting notes

Zesty citrus oil · Molasses and spice · Chewy, bright centre with a clean finish

Pairs with

Espresso or Turkish coffee, Vin Santo or Muscat, aged cheddar, citrus desserts. Lovely on top of a cake or panna cotta, or as an after-dinner nibble.
