Dried orange slices
Dried orange slices
Dried orange slices are a high-quality natural product, ideal for beverages, cocktails, desserts, and premium garnishing. They are made from fresh oranges that are thinly sliced and dried using a gentle method to preserve their natural color, aroma, and characteristic citrus sweet-and-sour taste. Their dried form offers practicality, a long shelf life, and consistent aesthetics for every preparation.
The Ingredient We Use
We use high-quality oranges, sliced thinly and dried without additives. Their color remains natural — light orange with a slight golden hue — while their texture is firm, slightly crisp, and ideal for drinks and garnishing.
Botanical Identity
The orange (Citrus sinensis, fam. Rutaceae) is one of the most popular citrus fruits worldwide. It is grown in temperate and Mediterranean regions and is known for its intense aroma, freshness, and natural sweetness. Drying the slices allows the orange to be used in a multitude of applications without deterioration or loss of aroma.
Aroma, Color, and Taste
The slices have a light orange color with a natural citrus glow. The aroma is intense, fresh, and sweet-and-sour, with a clear citrus sharpness. The taste is balanced, slightly sweet with a subtle acidity, ideal for beverages, desserts, and cocktails.
