Organic Lemon Myrtle, ground

Product description

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

Thanks to its high content of essential oils, this organic citrus spice is one of the most aromatic lemon seasonings in the kitchen. Biova relies on gentle drying and fine grinding to produce a homogeneous, easy-to-dose bulk product for foodservice and food manufacturing.

In the kitchen, lemon myrtle is extremely versatile and works just as well in savoury and sweet dishes as it does in drinks. Even small amounts are enough to refine marinades, spice blends or flavoured salts with a distinctive, zesty lemon note.

Origin

The lemon myrtle comes from Australia, where it grows on sandy and stony soils close to subtropical rainforests. The warm, humid climate promotes a particularly clear, intense lemon aroma, which Biova secures through careful selection of the raw material.

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, creating an even, fine, flaky powder ideal for bulk processing.

Key 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 cleaner, fresher-tasting aroma at lower dosage and, thanks to its fine particle size, can be easily incorporated into blends and marinades.

Origin and processing differences

Australian lemon myrtle is considered the benchmark, as the growing conditions produce particularly aromatic leaves. The gentle drying and fine grinding used by Biova set it apart from more coarsely cut products and ensure fast, even flavour release in liquids and dry recipes.

Taste & aroma

The aroma is intensely lemony, fresh and clear, with subtle eucalyptus and light camphor notes. On the palate, lemon myrtle tastes zesty and uplifting without the acidity of fresh lemon, so even small amounts add pronounced flavour to food and drinks.

Suggested uses

• Season fish, seafood and poultry dishes shortly before serving.
• For desserts, baked goods, creams, ice cream and fruit salads with a bright citrus note.
• To refine drinks, syrups, lemonades as well as flavoured salts and spice blends.
