About
No ordinary lemon, this rare citrus fruit is a little star. The size of a satsuma, intoxicatingly aromatic, sweet-sour in flavour and bursting with juice. You may recognise its exotic floral fragrance – bergamot oil is what gives Earl Grey tea its perfumed flavour.
Country of origin
Grown in- Morocco
The grated zest can subtly flavour cakes, biscuits, mousses and ice creams
How to prepare
Squeeze over pancakes, steep in hot water for a refreshing tea, use in salad dressings or to make sweet curd, sorbet or marmalade. A little tip: roll a lemon back and forth between your hands before using, and you'll be able to squeeze more juice.
Storage
Lemons can be kept in a cool room or the fridge for at least a week.
Class
Our lemons are sold as class 2. This means that they might not look cosmetically perfect, but they are grown for the very best flavour.
