Candied fruit is a product widely used in food preparation and is made by preserving fruits or fruit peels by soaking them in a sweet syrup. This process helps to maintain the fresh taste and intense aroma of fruit without having to use artificial preservatives and, at the same time, gives it a texture similar to that of sweets.
Candied pastes, instead, are the ultimate evolution of this process; in fact, they are made using candied fruit that is subsequently processed to produce a truly unique paste.
The most striking feature of the candied fruit and candied pastes made from Di Bartolo’s Sicilian fruits is that they contain a high amount of fruit and are very easy to use.
