🍋 Old lemons with round shape and rough skin

These old lemons with a round shape come from mature trees planted before modern commercial varieties. They are characterized by their thick, rough and irregular skin and their rustic appearance.

They are not lemons selected for visual appeal or uniform size. These lemons are mainly suitable for using the peel in homemade preparations.

🌿 Main characteristics

• Round and irregular shape
• Thick, rough skin with a high proportion of peel
• Juice present, with a strong traditional taste
• Old variety, not a modern commercial type
• No post-harvest treatment (unwaxed)

🍯 Recommended uses

• Lemon marmalades and preserves
• Candied lemon peel
• Natural zest for baking and cooking
• Traditional recipes

They are especially suitable if you are looking for lemons to work with the peel, rather than for fresh consumption or juice only.

⚠️ Appearance and availability

• Irregular shapes and marked skin texture
• Uneven colouring, typical of old varieties
• Limited production, available only in small quantities

These characteristics are not defects, but natural traits of this type of lemon and the trees they come from.
