Welcome to the sunny, fragrant world of lemons, a citrus pearl that delights the senses in the magnificent Mediterranean region. At the heart of this sensory experience, lemon reveals itself as a juicy, tangy treasure.
What is "Citron de Menton"?
The "Citron de Menton" differs from its Italian and Spanish cousins. "Its shape is elliptical rather than round, and its color is bright yellow.
The research we carried out with the I.N.R.A. revealed that the Menton lemon is rich in acids and essences. Its peel has a high essential oil content3 ;
Lemons have a remarkable advantage: they are rich in vitamin C (52 mg per 100g). The presence of this vitamin in its natural form, and the fact that it is accompanied by other nutritionally active substances (vitamin P, organic acids, selenium, fiber, etc.), make lemons particularly beneficial to a balanced diet, both now and in the long term.
The "Citron de Menton" is characterized by :
-ITS COLOR: naturally occurring on the tree, which is light yellow to greenish yellow for early lemons, intense and luminous light yellow at optimum ripeness, and bright yellow (almost fluorescent) during the cold winter nights.
- ITS ECORCE: finely granulated and strongly adherent to the quarters.
- ITS FRAGRANCE: intense, with a fresh lemongrass aroma, especially when "palpé-roulé" is performed.
- ITS JUICE: intensely fragrant, with a semi-acidic flavor and no bitterness.
