The BelleVue hotel on the Old Port of Marseille has chosen a gourmet gift for its residents. It is a pretty bag of candied orangettes bursting with sunshine concocted by the Chef of the restaurant La Caravelle!
It’s a tradition at the BelleVue Hotel
The gift of magic is a tradition in BelleVue Hotel. To keep it a surprise it changes from year to year. 2021 it is delicious and gourmet and the bag of orangettes seems to be unanimous!
It is true that these golden sticks coated in crystalline sugar are reminiscent of the sweets of our childhood... And then, from North to South, and even more so in Provence, the Christmas table is adorned with the colors of candied fruits.
Real know-how
The real know-how begins with the choice of the product, so the small oranges must be from the South and untreated. In addition, the proportion of sugar owes nothing to chance, but above all patience is essential because the cooking takes a long time and so does the drying. And hop ! here is a pretty bag of candied orangettes full of sunshine concocted by the Chef of the restaurant La Caravelle to taste!
From anti-waste to pleasure
What could be more natural in an eco-friendly hotel than using the peels from the freshly squeezed oranges at breakfast to make delicious candied orange peel for our guests? Every morning, our breakfast preparer lovingly squeezes fresh oranges and cuts up the peels, which our Head Chef then cooks.
Of course, like so many preparations, this one also has its history. which goes back to the Egyptians since they kept their fruits in honey.
And maybe we will soon be able to introduce you to a recipe Marseille honey 😉
