Organic Lemon Peel Flakes 0.5–1.5 mm

Product description

Biova organic lemon peel is made from sun-ripened Spanish lemons and processed into fine flakes of around 0.5–1.5 mm. The yellow peel pieces bring an intense, natural lemon flavour with fresh citrus notes to your kitchen.

Gentle drying largely preserves the essential oils in the lemon peel, resulting in a clean aroma and flavour profile. The homogeneous, fine / flaky particle size is ideal for professional use in baking mixes, seasoning blends and tea recipes.

You can work the organic lemon peel flakes directly into doughs, creams, marinades, tea blends or drink powders to add natural, zesty freshness with ease. Compared with fresh zest, the flakes have a long shelf life, are easy to dose and ensure even flavour distribution.

Origin

The lemons come predominantly from organic farming in Spain’s Mediterranean climate. Long hours of sunshine and mild temperatures promote a well-balanced citrus aroma in the peel and form the basis for Biova’s consistently high quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The fruit is grown in line with organic standards and harvested at optimum ripeness. After washing, the peel is separated from the pulp, cut to 0.5–1.5 mm, gently dried and sieved to a defined, fine / flaky particle size for bulk supply.

Special features

A key characteristic is the homogeneous, fine / flaky structure, which incorporates very well into dry mixes. The bright yellow colour indicates a high proportion of aromatic peel components and supports an even distribution of lemon flavour.

Differences in origin and processing

Spanish lemon peel is known for its intense yet well-balanced citrus aroma. The drying and sieving methods used by Biova ensure stable quality, a clearly defined particle size and a longer shelf life compared with fresh lemon zest.

Taste & aroma

Sensory-wise, the flakes offer a typical, fresh lemon taste with delicate acidity and a slightly bitter peel note. The aroma is dominated by clear citrus and peel notes, which develop fully when heated or infused with liquid and complement both sweet and savoury dishes.

Suggested uses

• For flavouring cakes, cookies, tarts, creams and desserts.
• As an ingredient in tea blends, lemonades, infused water, syrups and drink powders.
• For marinades, dressings, fish and vegetable dishes or delicate seasoning blends.
