Across Israel, citrus season has always been celebrated for its many blessings. Orange peels are saved, simmered, and transformed into incense – filling kitchens with a layered aroma of sweetness, bitterness, and spice. This spiced version of Fenster’s Golden Strips embodies this same sensation of warmth and depth to the classic candied peel.

Real orange peels are sliced thin and gently candied until tender, allowing sugar to penetrate while preserving the peel’s structure. A delicate blend of spices is added during the process, rounding out the citrus with soft, aromatic notes that linger rather than announce themselves. Once cooled, the peels are coated in dark chocolate, forming a thin shell that snaps lightly before giving way to a chewy, fragrant center.

The first taste opens with bright orange, quickly followed by cocoa and a subtle warmth that unfolds slowly. The spices don’t dominate; instead, they anchor the sweetness and temper the citrus, making these strips feel richer and more complex than the classic version. Each piece varies slightly in shape and thickness, reflecting the handmade process and the fruit itself.

Packed in a rigid cardboard box to protect texture and freshness, the strips are gathered loosely inside, meant to be enjoyed one at a time – alongside coffee, after a meal, or shared casually. This version is especially suited for cooler months, when spiced sweets feel most at home.
