Produced in Rodi Garganico (province of Foggia), with traditional recipes handed down from generation to generation, these lemon and orange candies have an elongated shape, about 1.18/2-inch long, with a thickness of 0.19 inches. Their colour is quite obviously yellow or orange.

The preparation of these candies takes place from November to March: it is a very long process. First of all, lemon and orange peels are cut into strips placed in constantly refreshed water for four days. Then, the skins are cooked in a pan, with the addition of sugar, for about 20 minutes; they’re eventually dried and packaged for sale.
