About Paradise

Paradise Brands Brings You a Rich Tradition of Delectable Confections….

The company, Paradise; began as a subsidiary of a diversified corporation soon after WW II, but shortly thereafter, Candied Fruit became the focus of its business and other operations were either sold or closed. In 1961, current ownership purchased the company, and the name Paradise Fruit Company was adopted and later incorporated in 1965 as Paradise Fruit Company. Through ever increasing diversification and a number of acquisitions of related entities, the company’s name was changed in 1993, to Paradise.

ACHIEVING Baking Excellence for over 50 Years

Since 1961 Paradise Brands has been a favorite brand for candied fruit products. We’ve been making glace’ (candied) fruit of all kinds, including candied cherries, ingredients for fruit cake recipes and much more.

Product Description

The citron fruit is a bit larger and has a more bitter taste than its popular citrus counterparts, oranges and lemons. Citron is widely known and used for its wonderful, potent aroma. Paradise foods takes the thick peel of the outer portion, candies it, and turns it into a fantastic part of a traditional fruitcake, German stollen cake for the holidays and hot cross buns. This saccade has a distinct taste because it combines the bitter taste of the fruit rind with the sweetness of the sugar for a truly mouthwatering experience.
