Washington oranges, a variety from Cilento. The Extra Orange Marmalade Minnelea is made from Washington oranges, a variety grown in the National Park of Cilento. These are sweet and juicy oranges, seedless, which allow for a simpler and more direct processing: one variety, one flavor character. It is a classic marmalade in Mediterranean tradition, but essential in the recipe. No anonymous blends: just Washington oranges from Cilento, carefully processed. Essential recipe. We use juice and peel of orange to achieve a full-tasting marmalade with a recognizable aromatic profile. We only add cane sugar and a hint of lemon juice for natural preservation and for the sweet-sour balance. No pectins, no thickeners, no preservatives, no colorings. The structure comes from the natural pectin of the citrus fruits and from the cooking time. Vacuum cooking at low temperature. Like the other sweet preserves from Minnelea, the orange marmalade is also processed under vacuum at low temperature. It is a slow method, chosen to preserve the essential oils of the peel, the fresh aroma, and the natural color of the fruit. The result is a bright orange marmalade, with visible peel pieces, with a full flavor but never bitter. How to use it. It is perfect on toasted bread for breakfast, on brioche or on rusks. In pastry, it is suitable for tarts, bundt cakes, and traditional cookies. In gourmet pairings, it goes best with aged hard cheeses, where the citrus note balances the saltiness. A marmalade that tells the Mediterranean without the need for embellishments.
