Preserved lemons are a fundamental flavoring in North African cooking.
These are prepared from aromatic beldi lemons grown in Taroudant, a town in southern Morocco, by a community-based and women-run business.
Made from aromatic beldi lemons, this jammy-smooth puree is deliciously thick but melts easily—infusing every nook and cranny of a dish with bold flavor. Preserved lemons are widely used in North African cooking to add a burst of citrus and delicate funky tang to food, and Casablanca Market has harnessed the fruit’s unique flavor and blended it into a spoonable and scoopable format. The puree has a slightly-fruitier aroma and less salty flavor than whole preserved lemons, likely due to the the juices and oils being released during the blending process, and holds a similar texture to that of grated ginger—with a liquid-y halo of fragrant juice that forms around every dollop. Unlike a squeeze of regular lemon juice or dusting of zest, this unique product yields a softer character due to the lactic acid that forms during fermentation, which has a creamier flavor and texture that the zippy acidity found in fresh lemons—bringing brightness balanced with a seriously-addictive bite of sea salt.

Swirl and spoon into soups and salad dressings, or add to a sauce for our Spaghetti al Limone. Replace the lemon zest in our Moroccan Meatball Tagine with Green Olives and Lemon with the puree, or incorporate into a glaze for desserts to balance sweetness.
