Ground orange peel

Origin & Story

Orange peels (Citrus sinensis) have been used in cooking and confectionery for centuries. Especially in the Mediterranean, the use of the aromatic peels is firmly established – whether for baked goods, sweet dishes or as part of classic spice blends. My orange peels come from Spain, where oranges ripen under ideal climatic conditions and develop a particularly intense aroma.

Highlights

After harvesting, the peels are carefully selected by hand, gently dried and finely ground. This preserves the essential oils and gives the powder its fruity freshness. The aroma combines notes of orange, bitter zest and a light essential spiciness. In ground form the orange peel is ready to use instantly – ideal for baked goods, teas, sauces, rubs and for refining liquids.

Quality

The oranges come from sustainable cultivation in Spain. Only the outer, aromatic layer of the peel is processed – free from the white pith. In my manufactory the peels are carefully ground and filled in small batches. All-natural, no additives, free from pesticides or chemical fertilisers.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.

Tip from Tobias Funke

I like to use orange peel in spice blends for poultry. Combined with chilli, mace and a little honey, it makes a wonderfully balanced marinade. In the dessert world it is an insider tip too – over crème, in yoghurt or with dark chocolate.
