Tasting Candied violet flowers
First comes the crunch of sugar; then the unmistakable perfume of violet, sweet and floral, recalling old-fashioned sweets but with the delicacy of a real flower.
It is a flavour that surprises those who do not know it and moves those who remember it from childhood.
Estepa, a town of confectioners
La Despensa de Palacio makes its sweets in Estepa, in the Seville countryside, a town whose name has been tied for centuries to confectioners’ workshops, toasted sugar and the scent of almonds drifting out of kitchens when the cold arrives.
That inherited craft shows in every piece: patient recipes, carefully made boxes and a way of seeing sweets as a small luxury to share.
How to enjoy Candied violet flowers
- To decorate cakes and cupcakes.
- On vanilla or cream ice cream.
- In a cocktail or a glass of cava.
- On their own, with coffee.
A few flowers on a white cake transform it entirely. They also shine on a scoop of ice cream, in a glass of cava or simply beside a coffee, like a tiny bonbon.
The 50 g box
The flowers are fragile: they should be handled gently and kept somewhere cool and dry, away from humidity, so they stay crisp.
