Practical Handling for Professionals
Because machine processing can crush the delicate cells that hold aromatic oils, our Cedro is hand-cut to maintain the integrity of the peel. To prevent clumping in heavy doughs, we recommend storing the 12-ounce container in the refrigerator and tossing the cubes in a small amount of flour before folding them into your batter.
Why choose Sicilian Citron over Lemon?
The Citron (Cedro) is an ancient variety grown specifically for its exceptionally thick, non-bitter pith. Unlike a lemon, it has almost no juice, allowing the pith to absorb the curing syrup deeply for a sweet, fragrant finish that doesn't overwhelm the palate.
