OliveNation Candied Lemon Peel Slices, Sweet and Tart for Baking, Cooking, Snacking, Imported from Italy - 4 ounces

Perfectly pungent and sweet. Hit the notes right in the Bath Buns.

I found these a much more inexpensive option and just as good as the tiny jars. Just put them in a jar add some simple syrup stick in the fridge and there you have it.

Mine came in a different container. It is a little more bitter than I would have liked. I think they left too much of the bitter pith on the peels. When I make homemade food using the whole orange, I take 75% of the pith off so the dish is not quite so bitter. It will be good for my baking to add some contrast to the sweets. It is soft and very fresh and I could never in a million years find such a quality product where I live! I would have to make it and if you have ever made candied fruit, it is quite a process! I would purchase this product and others from Olive Nation.

I love chocolate covered orange peel. A while back, my daughter, who is a chef, made me some for my birthday. She told me that she could teach me how to make it. It is not that difficult, but does take a long time. I bought this to see how it would work.ZWhen it arrived it was not quite what I was expecting. The inside of the bag seemed moist and there was sugar syrup, or something in the bag. It does not look like home made (or chef made) candied orange peel, and I have not tried it uncoated. A few days ago I melted a good quantity of Scharffen Berger 70% dark chocolate and coated about half of the bag of orange peel. It was not quite as good as what I have purchased at (high end) chocolate shops, nor as good as what my daughter made, but it was very good, a great deal less expensive and very very easy.I am not sure I would enjoy these without the chocolate coating, in large part because they are very sticky, but they do make very good chocolate covered orange peel (and I would personally recommend the Scharffen Berger 70% dark for a great combination).

First, let me say I love using this product. I started using it several years ago to make cranberry orange yeast bread, and it is always a hit. My husband calls it candy bread because the fruit is sweet and delicious. When I started buying it, it was packed in a sturdy plastic pouch and I never had any problems with damage during shipping. Since they have changed the packaging to flimsy salad bar containers there has only been 1 package out of the last 5 I have ordered that was not damaged. The other containers were damaged to a degree that I did not feel comfortable using the product. I had stopped ordering for a while and recently tried a different brand. It came in a sturdier container, and had a protective wrap and was placed in a padded bag. It arrived undamaged. I took this as a hopeful sign Amazon had improved their shipping practices and ordered the Olive Nation orange peels again. My hopes were dashed. Still the same flimsy salad bar container, no extra padding around it, not in a protective padded bag, stuck in my monthly shipment box with a case of coffee filters, and 2 coffee cans and some other smaller items.. Lid was completely popped off and sticky syrup was on all the items in box. There is just no point in ordering this item ever again unless packaging changes for the better. So the 1 star is totally because of bad packaging and shipping practice and not the product itself.

I saw a lot of reviews about how flavorless these are and was reluctant to try them. I took the plunge, and I'm so glad I did. I make a lot of traditional Swiss recipes for Christmas, and I go through huge amounts of candied orange and lemon peel. I've spent years dissatisfied with the quality that was available at the grocery store and other retailers. These are exceptionally good quality at an great price. Thank you Amazon for making such a quality ingredient easily available. I will never do my Christmas baking without these again!As for the negative reviews, these aren't candy. If you want obnoxiously sweet orange flavor, buy gumdrops.

I have ordered twice. The first time with other items. That package was damaged and product loose in the shipping box on other items. Second order, I ordered in a separate order. The package was once again damaged, but only liquid had leaked out. This Olive Nation candied orange peel is a wonderful product! Wonderful flavor, easy to incorporate into your baking! Or as a quick flavorful, sweet snack. The hard, brittle packaging does not survive shipping.

I bought these in 2019 for an Italian dessert. Froze what I didn't use.Found them when I was making bourbon fruitcake - still good, and made my fruitcakes exquisite!
