🍋 The golden fruit: the Menton lemon,
a true institution
Lemons and Menton are a great love story! Here, on this corner of paradise bathed in Mediterranean sunshine, grows a golden treasure: the IGP Citron de Menton.
A child of the land and guardian of age-old traditions, it flourishes in our destination’s unique microclimate. Between sea and mountains, protected from northerly winds and caressed by a gentle sea breeze, the golden fruit reveals its inimitable flavor: a delicate acidity, a thick, fragrant skin, and a subtle aroma that makes it the ally of the greatest chefs. For centuries, Menton’s terraced landscapes have preserved this jewel in the tradition of ancestral methods.
Ripened straight from the tree, harvested by hand, without wax or chemical treatment, the Citron de Menton is much more than a citrus fruit: it’s the symbol of exceptional know-how and terroir. A golden fruit recognized and protected by its IGP, it now shines on market stalls, ready to delight the taste buds of gourmets and gourmands alike!
