What is Candied Orange Fine?

Candied Orange Fine is made by finely dicing orange peel and preserving it in sugar syrup. This candying process replaces moisture in the peel with sugar, creating small, granulated pieces that are sweet, tangy, and versatile. Unlike larger diced candied orange, the fine granulates are perfect for recipes requiring a smooth texture or even distribution, such as cookies, bars, and sponges.

Why Does Candied Orange Fine Have a Long Shelf Life?

The candying process is what allows Royal Steensma Candied Orange Fine to last up to 12 months from production. During this process, the orange peel is simmered in sugar syrup, which replaces the natural water content with sugar. This has two key effects:

1) Preservation with Sugar: The sugar acts as a natural preservative by reducing the water activity in the peel. Microbes require water to grow, and the sugar effectively locks up the remaining moisture, preventing spoilage.
2) Stable and Moist Texture: The peel retains its chewy texture while being stabilised, making it resistant to microbial growth and oxidation.

This means you can confidently store it in a cool, dry place for months without worrying about quality or safety.
