Our lemons come directly from growers in the region around Argos and Nafplion on the Peloponnese. The peel has not been treated either before or after harvesting. These are smaller but extremely juicy lemons with a wonderful aroma. The lemon peel can be used as zest for candied peel or jam.
Lemons are only treated if they need to be preserved for longer. Wax treatment and/or preservatives seal the pores of the lemon, preventing it from "aging". Treated lemons are usually needed in supermarkets as they have to endure at room temperature for days. The treatment consequently reduces spoilage.
Fresh untreated lemons must be stored in a cool place. At cold temperatures, you can store our lemons for longer than 4 weeks, completely without treatment.
