Description

The best thing about the robust, golden kumquat (other than its perfect complexion) is that you can eat the entire fruit, peel and all. But maybe only one or two (ok or three or four), because they’re bitter when fresh off the tree, and the oils in the peel make the tongue go numb after awhile.

These dried and candied kumquat slices change all that. Tree-ripened fruits are picked, seeded, and then brined in salt to remove bitter aromatics before getting a light coat of sugar. The peels and pulp are resplendent in color and taste of citrus and caramel, with the lightest note of woody balsam.

In Taiwan, they’re commonly served as a snack with tea, but we’ve even seen them chopped and rolled into dough for a tangyuan sticky rice dumpling. We eat them by the handful and you should too. Use them anywhere you’d want a dried citrus: granola, baked goods, or as a yogurt topping.

Kumquat is THE fruit of Lunar New Year. The harvest season coincides with the holiday, and its golden color and lucky-sounding name (a synonym with golden luck in some dialects) are symbolic of wealth and good fortune.

To mark the Year of the Snake we're happy to introduce this collection of kumquat products from Geli, a family-owned manufacturer that has specialized in cultivating and processing this citrus for four generations. No artificial preservatives, colorings, or ingredients are used in production.

How It's MadeTasting Notes and UsageIngredients and InstructionsAbout Geli

Located in the township of Minxiong in Chiayi County, the family-owned manufacturer Geli 吉利 has a 60-year legacy of cultivating and processing kumquats, producing sauces, vinegars, and preserved fruit.

Founder Tsai Hai-Piao's discovery of kumquat was accidental—a snack consumed at a friend's place—but it left an impression, inspiring him to farm kumquats in Minxiong's favorable climate, while also teaching other farmers how to successfully build their orchards.

Since then, Geli has dedicated itself to making a name for Minxiong and its community through its kumquats. The company is now led by Peter, Tsai's great grand-son, who has modernized the brand and made Minxiong's kumquats available to a wider audience. Look for an illustration of his great grandfather on the packaging.
