Why choose semi-candied fruit?

Lower Sugar

Compared to traditional candied fruit, our semi-candied range has a lower sugar content, making it a fresher and lighter alternative. The natural acidity of the fruit balances the sweetness of doughs and creams, creating a more modern and pleasant taste experience.

Better Dough Distribution

Thanks to its firm and fleshy texture, semi-candied fruit blends evenly into doughs, ensuring consistent distribution without sinking to the bottom. This stability allows pastry chefs to achieve perfect results in both small and large leavened products.

Versatility

Resistant to freezing and baking, semi-candied fruit adapts effortlessly to multiple uses, from croissants and plumcakes to gelato and ice cream cakes, always maintaining its vibrant flavor, color, and texture.
