In summer there is nothing as refreshing as citrus fruit. Whether you are enjoying a summer picnic in the park or relaxing on the beach, citrus completes the feeling of summer. A slice of lemon or lime in a refreshing cocktail. Delicious juicy orange or mandarin in sorbet and water ice. Or make a dessert with the challenging tastes of citrus, such as yuzu, kumquat or grapefruit.
Citrus fruit is versatile in savoury dishes. It provides a harmonious cooperation of sweet and sour. Think of the classic combination of duck with orange sauce or a simple but delicious pasta a limone. It is an indispensable ingredient for culinary refinement.
The explosion of tastes is welcome in all seasons. Sweet juicy mandarins are inextricably linked to the typical Dutch festivities of Sint Maarten and Sinterklaas. In winter we warm ourselves with spicy mulled wine. And all year round we like to drink earl gray tea with bergamot as tastemaker. So let yourself be surprised by the versatility of citrus fruits.
Hard boiled candy

The cross between a mandarin and a grapefruit, the mineola is everything one expects from a citrus fruit: fresh, sweet, juicy, sour and slightly bitter. Yuzu is a beloved citrus fruit from Japan and is a highly valued ingredient in the Asian cuisine. The taste of Yuzu is a beautiful citrus blend with aromatic floral notes that provides a unique and complex flavor profile that is sure to surprise!
