These candied orange peel strips are a nostalgic delicacy with their classic, evocative flavour. The process begins by peeling the fruit, boiling the rinds in water, and then slowly candying them in a rich sugar syrup.
Stored directly in this syrup, the peels retain their full flavour and a tender, supple texture. While they are a delicious treat on their own, they are widely used in professional confectionery and pastry recipes. Simply drain the strips before incorporating them into your creations to add a concentrated citrus note.
Any unused portions should be kept in their syrup and stored in the fridge to maintain their freshness and quality.

Recipe for chocolate orangettes:
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a tempering machine.
Once melted, immerse the strips of candied orange peels which have been drained beforehand.
Using a dipping fork, completely wrap strips in melted chocolate. Remove them one by one by draining them to remove the excess chocolate.
Place the orangettes delicately on a sheet of baking paper and let the chocolate harden in the fridge.
Taste these delicious orangettes. The marriage of dark chocolate and orange is a pure marvel!
