Menton Lemon AOP Dried Artisanal — Premium Dehydrated Slices | The Originea
Menton Lemon PDO — France's most prestigious citrus fruit — sliced and slowly dried to capture the intensity of its fragrant zest.
The Menton lemon is no ordinary lemon. Protected by the PDO since 2015, it is the only French lemon to benefit from this recognition of excellence. Its zest, exceptionally rich in essential oils, releases a fragrance of rare intensity — floral, tangy, almost sweet. Its flesh, less acidic than conventional lemons, offers a unique balance. Each slice that we slowly dry in our workshop captures this dual personality: an explosively fragrant zest and remarkably delicate flesh. The king of citrus fruits, in its most beautiful expression.
