What are salted lemons?

Salted lemons are whole lemons that have been brined. The salt gradually softens the lemon peel, diluting its bitterness and giving it a light, salty-sour taste. If you've ever visited Morocco, you've surely seen and perhaps tasted salted lemons stored in large jars in restaurants and shops.
Sourcing them outside of North Africa is another matter entirely... Either you have to pickle and store them yourself or look for them in a specialty store. Mill&Mortar add salted lemons to the spice range. They taste great, have a long shelf life, and it's much easier to gauge how much you need.

  • The special taste

    Salted lemon has the concentrated taste of lemon, but without the excessive acidity of fresh lemon juice. While the role of lemon is to add acidity, Salted Lemon is an amazing fruit-based product,
    source of umami. Just a little bit of the salty lemon adds depth to so many savory dishes. Just think of the tagines of Moroccan cuisine. Mill & Mortar decided to dry salted, organic lemons and granulate them. The gentle drying process preserves the beautiful flavor and color while greatly extending the shelf life.

  • How to use?

    Salted lemon adds citrus notes to stews and soups. In vinaigrette, mayonnaise, yogurt dressings and hummus, it adds something special that no one can fail to notice. Famous chef Ottolenghi uses them to season everything from wholesome salads containing grains or legumes to eggs, potatoes and roasted beets. You can also use this Lemon Salt Powder in any drinks and cocktails where salt and lemon are needed - such as a Martini, G&T, Bloody Merry or Tequila.
