Lemon (Granulated Zests)

Spain

Ponthier has selected yellow lemons from the sunny orchards of Spain, a country renowned for the aromatic richness of its citrus fruits. Thanks to an ideal Mediterranean climate, the lemons develop an intensely fragrant peel that is lively and fruity without excessive bitterness.

The zest is carefully removed from the fruit, then finely ground and quickly frozen to preserve all its volatile aromas, vibrant colour and natural freshness. Its uniform cut ensures consistent integration into all preparations.

This 100% pure fruit product, with no preservatives or additives, is ready to use for precise and controlled use in pastry, confectionery, ice cream or savoury cooking. It offers professionals a practical, consistent and high-quality solution to enhance their creations.
