Lime de Tahiti

Our Tahitian limes grow on the east coast of Corsica's eastern plain. Our climate suits them perfectly.

L for Lime

A dense shrub with large oval evergreen leaves. Its small flowers are white and fragrant. The lime is a cross between a wild citrus fruit from Indonesia and a citron. Célèbre « petit citron vert » connu notamment pour la composition du cocktail « Mojito ».

It becomes yellow and soft as it matures.

Tahitian lime is distinguished by :

  • its intense taste
  • aromatic, thin, green skin
  • very juicy pulp with few seeds
  • its spherical shape

Un an de vie de Lime

Développement végétatif​

I'm ripening quietly on my tree. It will be a few months before I can be picked.

Harvest

The harvest takes place in September and October.
And we're ready!
The pickers wear gloves, there are some nice thorns on my tree!

Harvest

We are deposited in a bucket and then poured into large paloxes before being transferred to the packaging station.

Tasting

No false modesty: I'm the king of the Mojito.
I often take first place in exotic cuisine.
In short, I'm a must!
