The Authentic Menton Lemon PGI: The Yellow Gold of the Riviera
Cultivated on terraces on the gentle slopes of the Menton basin, this Menton Lemon PGI is a true gem of French gastronomy. Harvested by hand at perfect ripeness, it benefits from a unique microclimate that gives it its exceptional characteristics.
Forget aggressive acidity! The Menton Lemon stands out for its incomparable sweetness, intense floral notes, and thick peel brimming with essential oils. Most importantly, it is guaranteed without any post-harvest treatment: you can (and should!) consume 100% of its zest.
Ideal format: Choose the 1 kg box for your Sunday pastries, or secure your stock with the 5 kg hamper (the perfect size for making your homemade Limoncello or candied lemons!).
