Lime is a tropical citrus fruit from the lime tree (limettier), part of the rutaceae family. Its thin, smooth dark green peel contains aromatic essential oils, and its juicy green flesh offers a bright, tangy acidity.
This acidity is ideal for tartares, ceviches, fish carpaccios, as well as for desserts, sorbets, sauces and cocktails.
Since limes are highly sensitive to cold, they thrive only in tropical regions.
Maison Ponthier sources its fruits from Mexico, one of the world’s leading producers, renowned for its Persian Lime varieties with exceptional fragrance and flavour.
