The natural oils from the orange peel infuse the chocolate with subtle citrus notes, while the dark chocolate's complex flavor profile enhances the orange's natural sweetness. These artisanal treats strike an impeccable balance between the bright, zesty citrus and the deep, nuanced notes of premium dark chocolate.

A Legacy of Chocolate & Citrus Artistry

The tradition of combining chocolate and candied orange dates back to European confectionery arts. Originally, candying fruit was a preservation method developed in the Mediterranean region, where citrus fruits were abundant. The practice of coating candied fruits in chocolate emerged in French and Italian confectionery during the 19th century, becoming a hallmark of refined taste. Orangettes gained popularity in elegant Parisian chocolate shops, where they were often presented as luxury gifts. This combination represents the marriage of two distinct culinary traditions: the ancient art of fruit preservation and the sophisticated craft of chocolate making.
