Why Choose Sicilian Cedro?
The Sicilian Cedro is world-famous for its thick, aromatic peel. When candied, it becomes the "jewel" of Italian pastry. The flavor is a delicate balance of sweetness and citrus oil that provides a much deeper aroma than standard candied lemon peel.

Diced Citron FAQ
A Candied citron comes from the Cedro fruit. It has a much thicker, more fragrant skin than a standard lemon, which results in a tender, sweet piece of fruit that holds its texture perfectly during baking.
A This is a 1 pound (16 oz) container. This provides approximately 2 to 2.5 cups of diced fruit, making it ideal for large-scale baking projects.
A Yes. After receiving your 1lb container, keep it refrigerated to maintain the softness of the fruit and prevent it from drying out.
Francesco’s Tip: For the best distribution in your Panettone or fruitcake, toss the diced citron in a light dusting of flour before adding it to your dough. This prevents the pieces from settling at the bottom of the tin.
