Meyer Lemon Concentrate

Fresh Meyer lemon is less acidic than the more common Eureka lemon. Its distinctive and complex citrus flavor has hints of sweet lime, lemon and mandarin orange. Our Meyer Lemon Concentrate captures the fruit's unique flavor characteristics and fragrance for your dessert, sorbet, and beverage recipes, with no added sugar or artificial ingredients.
