Organic orange peel flakes 0.3–2 mm

Product description

Biova organic orange peel is made in Spain from sun-ripened oranges, gently dried and processed into 0.3–2 mm flakes. The bright orange pieces add an intense, natural citrus aroma to a wide range of recipes.

Thanks to certified organic cultivation and careful drying, the typical orange peel aroma and many natural components are largely preserved. The fine, flaky cut makes the product easy to dose and ensures consistent quality in processing.

In use, Biova organic orange peel shows its versatility: it refines baked goods, desserts, hot drinks and spice blends with a clear orange and citrus note. Supplied in bulk by Biova, the orange peel flakes can be easily integrated into existing production processes.

Origin

The orange peel comes from Spain, where the mild, sunny climate offers ideal conditions for aromatic citrus fruit. Selected groves supply peel with a well-balanced ratio of sweetness and acidity.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The oranges are grown according to organic farming standards without synthetic pesticides. After harvesting, the peel is gently dried and cut into fine, flaky 0.3–2 mm pieces that are easy to dose.

Key features

The fine flake structure disperses quickly and evenly in doughs, creams and liquids. Compared to fresh peel, dried orange peel has a longer shelf life and is ready to use at any time, which makes it particularly attractive for the food industry, foodservice and artisan producers.

Origin and processing differences

Spanish oranges are known for their rounded, aromatic citrus profile with delicate acidity, which is reflected in the flavour of the peel. Controlled drying at Biova reduces aroma loss and minimises unwanted bitterness, resulting in a well-balanced orange flavour.

Taste & aroma

The orange peel flakes have an intense scent of fresh orange with a clear, fruity citrus note. On the palate, light sweetness, subtle peel bitterness and a refreshing, natural orange aroma come together.

Suggested uses

• As a flavouring ingredient in cakes, cookies, muffins and sweet breads
• To refine muesli, yoghurt, desserts, fruit curd and creams
• In tea blends, mulled wine, punch or lemonades for a fresh citrus note
