Pickled Lemon

Pickled Lemon (Moroccan Style) – Zesty Aroma, Golden Color & Authentic North African Heritage

Product Overview

Pickled Lemon (Moroccan Style), also known as Preserved Lemon, is a traditional delicacy made by curing whole or sliced lemons in salt and lemon juice. The process transforms the fruit into a soft, fragrant, and intensely flavorful ingredient that embodies the essence of Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine. With its bright color, tangy-salty taste, and distinctive citrus aroma, it’s a must-have for gourmet dishes, sauces, tagines, and meze assortments.

At Tuna Sourcing, we produce ISO 22000-certified Pickled Lemons, crafted from premium Turkish-grown lemons harvested at peak ripeness. Each lemon is cut, salted, and slowly matured in its own juice and light brine — creating a product rich in natural oils and preserved without artificial additives. The result is a vibrant, aromatic, and shelf-stable ingredient suited for retail, HoReCa, and industrial applications worldwide.
