Whole Preserved Lemons
Centaur Whole Preserved Lemons 1kg are an authentic ingredient harvested and brined in Morocco using time-honoured methods. Each Beldi lemon is hand-selected, cut at the extremity, and placed in a simple brine of water and salt, where it marinates for a minimum of one month. This slow preservation process develops a deep, tangy flavour and a distinctive aroma, while maintaining the natural quality of the fruit.
Once fully matured, the lemons are packed in pails with a carefully balanced brine designed to ensure optimal preservation and maintain their unique organoleptic qualities. The result is a vibrant, intensely flavoured lemon that adds depth and character to a variety of dishes.
Perfect for Moroccan, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean recipes, these preserved lemons bring a bold citrus note to tagines, salads, marinades, and sauces. Simply rinse before use, then chop, slice, or blend according to your recipe.
