Club del Gourmet Orange Strips in Dark Chocolate – Gluten-Free 150g

Club del Gourmet's candied orange strips dressed in 70% dark chocolate offer a sophisticated balance of bitter and bright citrus. Spanish artisans have long mastered the marriage of orange and chocolate—here, supple strips of candied peel meet a snappy cocoa shell that doesn't overpower the fruit's natural tang. Gluten-free, so they work for a wider table.

About this product

The candied orange is soft and chewy, its flavor neither cloying nor one-dimensional. The chocolate coating is substantial enough to provide structure but thin enough that you taste the orange with every bite. A small treat that feels intentional, not rushed—the kind of thing you'd find in a Madrid pastry shop's display case alongside marzipan and turrón. At 150 grams, the box holds roughly 20–25 pieces depending on size, making it generous for personal enjoyment or a gracious gift.

How to enjoy

• Alone with coffee or tea in the afternoon.
• Paired with amontillado sherry or a dry white wine.
• Scattered atop vanilla panna cotta or crème brûlée.
• Boxed as a gift for chocolate and citrus lovers.

⭐ Why we love this

Club del Gourmet captures a quintessentially Spanish tradition: the art of candying citrus fruit and wrapping it in chocolate, a technique perfected in confiterías across Madrid and beyond. The restraint here is refreshing—the 70% dark chocolate doesn't mask the orange's brightness, respecting the ingredient rather than drowning it.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve alongside a glass of amontillado sherry or a crisp Albariño—the wine's acidity and the chocolate's cocoa notes create a harmonious contrast with the citrus. Equally perfect as a small digestif after dinner with strong espresso or black tea.

📍 From Spain

Club del Gourmet, the premium line of El Corte Inglés, sources from Spain's finest artisanal producers. These candied orange strips honor the Spanish confectionery heritage that has celebrated orange and chocolate since the days of court pastry chefs, when citrus from Spanish groves was considered a luxury.
