Flamigni il Dolce Frutta Late Tangerines from Ciaculli Cake

350 gram cake - Italy

A Taste of Sicilian Sunshine
Packaged in a bright orange box decorated with tangerines and white blossoms, this exquisite Italian cake celebrates one of Sicily’s rarest citrus treasures—the Mandarino Tardivo di Ciaculli, or Late Tangerine from Ciaculli. Grown near Palermo, this heritage fruit is known for its rich aroma, natural sweetness, and low acidity. Candied tangerine pieces infuse the soft, buttery dough with an unforgettable fragrance and flavor.

Moist, delicate, and naturally leavened, this cake has the familiar lightness of panettone with a distinctly Mediterranean twist. Slice it for brunch, serve with tea, or pair with a glass of Moscato for a truly special treat.

Why It’s Special
Made with the prized Late Tangerine from Ciaculli, this cake embodies the essence of Italian tradition. Harvested later than most citrus, typically between February and March, these medium-sized fruits feature a thin, easy-to-peel skin and are often seedless or nearly so. Their distinctive flavor and heritage status have earned them recognition as part of the Slow Food Presidia, a movement dedicated to protecting traditional, high-quality foods that are sustainably produced and culturally significant.

The Late Tangerine from Ciaculli is cultivated using environmentally friendly practices in small, traditional orchards, with the region's unique climate and soil contributing to its exceptional quality. Cherished for its versatility, this citrus is enjoyed fresh or transformed into jams, juices, and desserts, symbolizing the rich agricultural legacy of Sicily and the importance of preserving biodiversity in modern food production.

The natural fermentation and long leavening give it an ethereal texture, while the candied tangerine peel adds a unique, sun-drenched sweetness.
