What goes with Cedrate?
Cedrate means true citron, Citrus medica. Its thick peel and white albedo are culinary materials in their own right, unlike a fruit used mainly for juice. Variety and maturity affect aroma and bitterness. Fresh peel and albedo differ from candied peel, which has much greater sweetness and a different texture.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Cedrate?
Specify fresh, blanched or candied citron in every preparation. Honey, dried fruit, mild nuts and warm spice suit the sweet form; very small candied pieces can also create a controlled contrast in a savoury crust. Fresh citron should not be silently replaced by lemon juice, yuzu or candied orange, because aroma, acidity and peel texture all shift.
