Moroccan Preserved Lemon Paste (25% off for 3 jars)
Variety
The Marrakesh Limetta is the lemon generally used in Morocco. It is very distinctive with a deep furrow at the end and a nipple extruding from it. It is slightly orange in colour. It is different from the smaller Egyptian lemons, less round to the usual Spanish varieties and often has a strong orange tint to the skin (depending on the harvest time) which is very different to the European and Turkish Meyer lemon.
Preservation
Preservation takes place over a three month period using a quality local Moroccan sea salt. Slits are cut in to the lemons which are then submerged in brine barrels and checked regularly. At the end of this process they are removed and placed in to a new, clean brine for packing.
We sort the lemons in to sizes by hand and discard any blemished ones. We then wash them ready for processing.
