The Michel Cluizel Candied Orange Slice


Really thrilled that my sis brought me wonderful chocolates from renowned chocolatiers all the way from Paris to HK. With this great amazement, I decided to jot a few notes here to record this wonderful tasting journey.

Recommended by books that Candied Orange Slice (Tranches d'Oranges confites au chocolat) from Michel Cluizel is a treasure not be missed in Paris. And very honestly it did not exaggerate.



The orange slice was not too thick (around 0.5cm) with dense enough flaccid candied pulps. It was in wonderful shiny orange color, and the bottom of the 2 sides was slightly wrapped with dark chocolate. Looking at its shininess and alluringly luscious “half moon”, you just couldn’t resist further.

A sharp pomelo aroma straightly hit through your palate when biting the orange slice. The orange was candied thoroughly which made the rind very chewy and the pulps juicy and jelly glazed. Sweetness was moderate, and it was counterpoised by the bitterness of the dark chocolate. The orange and a bit of citrus botrylis palate actually swirled for some time after chewing.

Nice nice all the way :> And how I wish I could take a step forward to Paris for a dessertholic walk!!!!
