Limoncello lemons

Sanne Vermeulen2023-12-07T12:15:19+01:00

The Limoncello lemon has a number of valuable characteristics. In addition to its tasty juice and slightly acidic pulp, the lemon is very popular for its edible peel, which is due to the absence of chemical treatment. These lemons are harvested with a small part of the branch, which keeps the fruit extra fresh. Due to its intense aroma and abundance of essential oils and terpenes, this lemon is very suitable for making Limoncello liqueur.

Yuzu

Sanne Vermeulen2023-12-04T07:44:23+01:00

Yuzu is a citrus fruit with a bumpy skin, which contains an aromatic taste and thus gives beautiful accents to dishes. The most famous use of Yuzu is the Japanese Ponzu sauce. Yuzu is also used for bathing during cold winter months. The peel then gives off a wonderful aroma and warmth that would reduce the cold and relax the mind. This is called yuzuyu.

Bergamot

Wanja Engbersen2023-12-01T15:54:32+01:00

Bergamot is also known under the name ‘’lucky fruit’’. It is a crossing between a lemon and a bitter orange. The pulp of this citrus fruit has a calming and uplifting effect. It is therefore not surprising that this Italian citrus fruit is often used in perfumes, but also in the well-known Earl Gray tea. The citrus fruit gets its name from the place where it comes from: the Italian city of Bergamo.

Ugly fruit

Wanja Engbersen2023-01-09T15:46:53+01:00

Where the name ugli comes from is pretty clear. Ugli fruit does not look very appetizing with its green-yellow, wrinkled and crumpled skin. But "don't judge a book by its cover".
