Crystallized citron is a traditional sweet made from the rind of the citron fruit (a type of large, aromatic citrus fruit, related to the lemon), which is cooked in sugar syrup and then crystallized. Its texture is soft on the inside, slightly firm on the outside, and its flavor combines the intense citrus of the rind with the sweetness of the sugar, resulting in an aromatic, refreshing product that is balanced between sweet and bitter.

Widely used in confectionery, crystallized citron is a classic ingredient in cakes, panettone, pies, sweet breads and cookies. It can also be eaten on its own as a snack or as part of a mix of crystallized fruits, especially during festive seasons such as Christmas.
