Chinotto from Finalborgo (Western Ligurian Riviera), 1kg

For lovers of original flavors, chinotto is a fruit that has a very characteristic bitter taste. We recommend using this typical Ligurian citrus fruit for pastries (candied fruit), ice cream, jams, syrups and liqueurs.

It is not usually eaten fresh but is enjoyed processed with sugar or in alcohol - whole or in segments (excellent both as a digestive and as a garnish). The pulp is used to make jams while the juice can be used in the production of liqueurs and bitters.

This chinotto comes from a small producer in Finalborgo (Riviera di Ponente Liguria) with whom we have a direct relationship.

Description

Chinotto di Finalborgo is a typical fruit of the Riviera Ligure di Ponente. The origin of this citrus fruit is not certain but it probably has a common relative with the bitter orange; then it arrived from the East in 1500 in Liguria where it found its ideal habitat becoming a typical crop of those places. Today there are very few producers of this excellence: thanks to our direct relationship with one of these farmers you will have the opportunity to try a very rare fruit, which is not easily found on the market.

Chinotti, given their very particular and intense flavor, are not eaten like fruit but are mainly used for preparations, worked with sugar, to make syrups and candied fruit, or in alcohol to garnish desserts. Its juice, fragrant and refreshing, is used to produce digestives and bitters. The pulp, on the other hand, is ideal for creating sweet jams, mustards and creams to accompany cheeses.
