What is it about / Product description

Biova Organic Lemon Myrtle is a finely ground citrus spice from Australia with an intensely fresh lemon fragrance. The greenish, fine-flaky powder made from the leaves of the lemon myrtle gives dishes a clear, natural citrus note.

Due to its high content of essential oils, this organic citrus spice is one of the most powerful lemon aromas in the kitchen. Biova relies on gentle drying and fine grinding, resulting in a homogeneous bulk product that is easy to dose for professional users.

In the kitchen, lemon myrtle proves extremely versatile and suits savoury and sweet dishes as well as drinks. Small amounts are sufficient to refine marinades, spice blends or flavoured salts with a distinctive, zesty-lemony note.

Origin

Lemon myrtle comes from Australia, where it grows on sandy and stony soils near subtropical rainforests. The warm, humid climate promotes an especially clear, intense lemon aroma, which Biova ensures through careful selection of the raw materials.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The evergreen shrubs are managed sustainably and pruned regularly to obtain young, highly aromatic leaves. After harvesting, the leaves are gently dried and then finely ground, producing an even, fine-flaky powder.

Special features

A high proportion of natural lemon aromas makes lemon myrtle one of the most intense citrus spices. Compared to classic lemon peel, the Biova spice delivers a clearer, fresher-tasting aroma at a lower dosage and, thanks to its fine particle size, is easy to work with.

Differences in origin and processing

Australian lemon myrtle is considered the benchmark, as the local conditions produce particularly aromatic leaves. The gentle drying and fine grinding used by Biova differs from coarsely cut variants and ensures rapid, even release of aroma.

Taste & aroma

The aroma is intensely lemony, fresh and clear, accompanied by fine eucalyptus and light camphor notes. In taste, lemon myrtle is zesty and invigorating without bringing the acidity of fresh lemon, so that even small amounts give dishes a pronounced aroma.

Possible applications

• For seasoning fish, seafood and poultry dishes shortly before serving.
