Lime (Granulated Zests)

Spain

Ponthier selects its limes in Spain, a region that enjoys ideal climatic conditions for growing citrus fruits. Thanks to intense sunshine and fertile soil, the limes develop a thin, highly aromatic skin rich in natural essential oils.

The zest is carefully extracted, then finely ground before being quickly frozen to preserve all its aromatic intensity, freshness and beautiful green colour. The regular cut allows for perfect distribution in preparations, while ensuring precise dosing.

Natural, with no added sugar, colourings or preservatives, these lime zests are a versatile ingredient ideal for baking, ice cream, sauces or fusion cuisine. A high-quality, ready-to-use professional solution to bring out the full vibrancy of this citrus fruit.
