Product description

The citron is the citrus fruit from which all others come. 🍋 Large fruits, thick and wrinkled peel, and inside a fleshy white part that is bitter in other citrus fruits, but here is sweet and crunchy.

That's what you eat. The juice is scarce and delicately acidic, but the albedo, the white pulp, is sliced and seasoned like a vegetable. The most striking thing is the scent: you can smell it from another room.

What it's like

  • Large fruit, thick, wrinkled, bright yellow peel
  • Thick, sweet, and crunchy white part, edible
  • Scant and slightly acidic juice
  • Intensely fragrant, rich in essential oils

How to use it

  • 🥗 Citron salad: thinly sliced, salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. This is the classic Sicilian way
  • 🍬 Candied fruit: the thick peel is best for candying
  • 🍸 Liqueurs: the base of cedratello and homemade infusions
  • 🐟 Grated: over carpaccio and fish pasta dishes

📅 Season: winter, availability depends on harvest.

🚚 We harvest to order and ship within 24 hours.

Product storage

Citrons can be stored for a long time, but the peel must remain firm. Keep them in a cool, airy place, laid out and not piled up, away from the sun: they will last three or four weeks.

In the refrigerator, place them in the fruit drawer; otherwise, the cold air will dehydrate them and the peel will wrinkle.

Once cut, wrap the remaining part in cling film and keep it in the refrigerator, to be consumed within three days. Wash the fruit before eating it. If you want to use the peel in cooking, first check that the product has not been treated after harvesting.
