OliveNation Candied Lemon Peel Slices 1lb (16 oz.) - Italian

I have been buying candied lemon and orange peels made by Olive Nation for two seasons now. The peels are very flavorful and I use them in fruit cakes. I do remove the pith from the peels before using in cakes. The pith does make a significant portion of the package, but its flavor is less intense. It's not absolutely necessary, but for more flavor I would recommend removing the pith.

I use this product for making the best fruitcake. A nice addition and it was moist and soft, not stiff and dried out.

Awful definitely not what I expected

Since I was not brought up in an Italian family, I have no fond memories to ruin, but I do have memories of the grocery-store candied peel we bought for fruitcake-making, and this beats that by a country mile! I was buying it for the "lemon peel" instead of for the sugar, which I don't much care for anyway, so I am pleased that it hasn't been rolled in granulated sugar. I ate three pieces soon after I opened the package from Amazon, and I liked the texture, just firm enough for me, and, although the flavor is not quite as tart as I expected, it is pleasantly lemon-y. I will buy this again, and I look forward to trying the orange peel.

Hard to recommend this product because I shouldn’t have ordered it in the first place. My mistake, so I didn’t feel right about sending it back. Should have read the description more fully.

This is a great candied lemon peel. Nice long pieces. I liked it so much this is my second order and I like the new packing much much better. It’s now in a plastic tub-like container instead of a ziplock baggie. Much easier use and reseal. Same great product. Good for cocktail garnish (think martini or lemon drop) but also great chopped in salads or mixed into whipped cream on strawberries. Or bblueberries.

These don’t seem quite right. Can’t put my finger on it. I think it’s more sugar than lemon flavor.

These are very good and I dipped them in chocolate coating for the holidays. They are soft and very yummy! Highly recommend and will buy more

Excellent Quality lemon peel, I have bought several products from OliveNation and never disappointed

Use this product for baking! Arrived earlier than expected!

I like them

The peel is reasonably good, will work well for fruit cake and the like, when chopped. It tastes the same as most store bought citrus peel, except these are long strips. The taste is not what I was hoping for, I thought you could eat them out of a bag like the glazed peel my mom used to make. For that you have to make it yourself at home. But these are ok if you haven't had any other type, especially that they don't have any artificial ingredients. The price was reasonable for 1 lb, which is a lot of peel.

Product arrived as advertised
