Organic orange peels | flakes | 1-2 mm

What is it about / Product description

Biova organic orange peel is obtained in Spain from sun-ripened oranges, gently dried and processed into 0.3–2 mm flakes. The bright orange, fine / flaky pieces bring an intense citrus aroma to your recipes and can be dosed with precision.

Thanks to controlled organic cultivation and gentle drying, the typical orange peel aroma and many natural ingredients are largely preserved. The uniform particle size supports reproducible product quality and makes the flakes ideal for the food industry, manufactories and gastronomy.

In use, the organic orange peel shows its versatility: it refines baked goods, desserts, hot drinks and spice blends with a natural citrus note. Thanks to Biova’s practical bulk packaging, the orange peel flakes can be easily integrated into existing production processes.

Origin

The orange peels come from Spain, where the mild, sunny climate offers ideal conditions for aromatic citrus fruits. Selected plantations consistently supply high-quality peels with a balanced ratio of sweetness and acidity, whose origin is documented by Biova.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The oranges are grown according to the guidelines of organic farming without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. After harvest, the peels are gently dried and crushed into 0.3–2 mm fine / flaky pieces, which increases storage stability and aroma concentration.

Special features

The fine / flaky granulation ensures quick and even distribution in doughs, creams and liquids. Compared to fresh peel, the dried flakes have a longer shelf life, are ready to use at any time and, as kilo goods, are particularly interesting for professional users.

Differences in origin and processing

Spanish oranges are characterized by a harmonious aroma with delicate acidity, which is reflected in the well-rounded taste of the peels. Controlled drying reduces aroma loss, minimizes undesirable bitter notes and distinguishes the finely structured flake form from coarse pieces or powder.

Taste & aroma

The flakes have an intense scent of fresh orange with a clear, fruity citrus note. In terms of taste, light sweetness, subtle bitter compounds from the peel and a refreshing, natural orange aroma combine to round off dishes and drinks authentically.

• As an aromatic ingredient in cakes, cookies, muffins and sweet breads
