A coast whose name recalls the fruit
The producer’s Diamante selection comes from the Riviera dei Cedri on Calabria’s northern Tyrrhenian coast in the province of Cosenza. It is a specific sourcing example for candied peel, not a protected designation for every Calabrian citron.

Use Agrimontana’s candied Diamante peel in panettone, pastiera and cassata. Compare a little diced candied citron in two simple baked fillings, keeping the amount modest so the peel remains a clear accent.
