Product features
Flavor profile: Preserved lemons offer a unique flavor that is intensely lemony but without the sharp, mouth-puckering sourness of fresh lemons. The flavor is savory, salty, and floral, with heavy citrus notes from the essential oils in the peel.
Ingredients: The curing process is traditionally done using a simple recipe of lemons, water, and sea salt. Some recipes may include spices, but the classic Casablanca style is based on this simple, time-honored tradition.
Texture: The salt curing and fermentation process softens the lemon rind and pith, making them tender and entirely edible.
Origin: The lemons are sourced from Morocco, often from indigenous varieties like the Beldi lemon, which is prized for its fragrant flavor.
Culinary use: After a quick rinse to remove excess salt, the whole lemon (rind and pulp) can be chopped and used in a variety of dishes.
Tagines and stews: Preserved lemons are a fundamental flavoring agent in Moroccan tagines, stews, and braises.
Salads and dressings: They add a zesty and tangy flavor to salads, vegetables, and vinaigrettes.
Meat and seafood: They pair well with chicken, lamb, and seafood, adding a bright and savory flavor.
Cocktails: They can be used as a garnish in cocktails like dirty martinis or bloody marys.
Packaging: The lemons are packed in a large glass or plastic jar to preserve them in brine and to maintain their quality for an extended period.
