Organic mandarin peel | flakes | 1-2 mm

What is it about / Product description

Biova organic mandarin peel brings the fresh, fruity character of sun-ripened mandarins from Spain into your kitchen. The fine, flaky granulation of around 1–2 mm distributes evenly and provides a natural, intense citrus note in dishes and drinks.

Gentle drying preserves the aroma and a large proportion of the essential oils in the organic mandarin peel. Biova relies on certified organic quality, carefully selected raw materials and a consistently fine structure that is ideal for bulk goods and professional use.

In creative cooking, the orange citrus peel refines baked goods, desserts, muesli, sauces and marinades as well as tea and herb blends. This allows you to easily integrate the aromatic citrus spice into your everyday life and give sweet and savoury recipes a fresh, Mediterranean mandarin note.

Origin

The mandarins for this citrus peel come from Spain, where the Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine and mild winters provides ideal conditions. Nutrient-rich soils and balanced temperatures promote a pronounced aroma in peel and fruit, which Biova uses for this organic quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The fruit is grown under controlled organic cultivation and harvested at the optimum stage of ripeness. After washing, the peel is separated from the fruit, cut into fine flakes of approx. 1–2 mm and gently dried so that the concentrated citrus aroma is preserved for a long time without additives.

Special features

The fine / flaky structure ensures that the mandarin aroma is evenly distributed in doughs, liquids and spice blends. As bulk goods, this citrus spice is particularly interesting for manufacturers, gastronomy and heavy users who appreciate consistent quality in larger quantities.

Differences in origin and processing

Spanish citrus peel is characterised by an intense, well-balanced aroma that is strongly influenced by the Mediterranean climate conditions. Compared to coarse peel, the 1–2 mm flakes can be dosed more precisely and integrated better into blends, as Biova pays particular attention to gentle drying.

Taste & smell

In terms of fragrance, the mandarin peel is reminiscent of freshly peeled mandarins with a warm, fruity citrus note. In taste, subtle sweetness and a light, typical citrus bitterness combine to give dishes and drinks a clear, fresh nuance without overpowering other aromas.
