Candied Lemon Peel Slices 16 Ounce (Pack of One) Imported from Italy

Consistently a terrific product. Good sized pieces for cocktails or cooking. Taste and texture outstanding

These were not what I expected. I was hoping to save money and time so I bought these instead of making them. These are very waxy and chemical tasting. I am sure they have other good uses but not for elegant baking.

This is the second year I've purchased candied orange and lemon peel from American Best Food to make an Italian confection for holiday gift giving. The portions are generous and the products freeze perfectly. It's simply the most beautiful and delicious orange and lemon peel I've ever experienced!

I am not a picky person, and normally I wouldn't bother writing a review, but I was extremely disappointed with these peels. I bought this and the orange peel pieces from the same company, and I am equally disappointed with both of them.First, they arrive wet and gummy, lacking anything close to that crystallized, dry finish that it claims it has that candied fruit should. The texture is objectionable, with each piece being closer to some sort of gummy with a firm bite than anything that could ever come from a lemon.Second, it lacks almost any noticeable lemon flavor or scent. If I were given a piece blindfolded, I doubt I'd guess lemon flavor, much less candied lemon peel. Candied peels are often used in cakes and such to flavor them, but this doesn't have enough flavor by itself. It also has this very odd chemical-tasting flavor and aftertaste, and it's not a good one.Overall, just do not buy this. It is a sad mockery of what candied lemon rind should be, and is useless for most any application you might expect it to serve in.

I really like these plain for snacking or baking with and sometimes dipped in chocolate. Family really loved the chocolate dipped at holiday time

I would have given it 5 stars, except I bought 2 packages and 1 was fine, but the other was "syrupy". I used the good one and froze the syrupy one for later use, so I don't know if it taste the same until I use it.

I bought the same brand of candied orange peel and lemon peel at the same time. The orange peel was exactly as expected. The candied lemon peel, however, was not at all what I expected. The slices were very large--larger than almost any lemon I've met. The flavor was only slightly citrus and not particularly lemony. I think this might actually be citron, the stuff that adds bulk to fruitcake. I won't be doing any DNA testing to prove it, but this rather expensive bag of candy is still uneaten nearly a year later. Not recommended.

They are very large, thick strips and taste awful. I used them for decoration only.
