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, flake-like 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-style 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 give marinades, spice blends or flavoured salts a distinctive, zesty lemon note.

Origin

The lemon myrtle comes from Australia, where it thrives on sandy and stony soils close to subtropical rainforests. The warm, humid climate promotes a particularly clear, intense lemon aroma.

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 to create an even, fine, flake-like powder suitable for bulk processing.

Key features

A high proportion of natural lemon aromas makes lemon myrtle one of the most intense citrus spices. Compared with 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 differs from more coarsely cut products and ensures 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 give food and drinks a pronounced flavour boost.

Suggested uses

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