Lemon and Pepper Seasoning Salt by Ristoris
Ristoris Pepe al Limone is a ready-to-use seasoning salt that combines cooking salt, black pepper (22.5%, origin Indonesia), garlic, onion, natural lemon flavour (0.8%, Italy) and turmeric in a single jar. It delivers the bite of pepper and a bright citrus lift in one pinch, with no flavour enhancers and no yeast extracts. Supplied in a 430 g steel tin, packed in a case of 2, for daily use on the professional service line.
What a Seasoning Salt Is
A seasoning salt is a blend in which fine salt carries spices, aromatics and natural flavours, so the kitchen seasons and flavours in one gesture instead of dosing salt, pepper and citrus separately. Pepper, the dominant spice here at 22.5%, has been a cornerstone of Italian cuisine since the Venetian spice trade of the Middle Ages made Italy the gateway of spices into Europe. Lemon, the signature citrus of the Italian South, adds the freshness that balances rich proteins and fried dishes.
The Producer
Ristoris is an Italian food company based in Broni, in the province of Pavia (Lombardy), specialised in products for professional kitchens. Ristoris produces, selects and distributes Italian specialties for the HoReCa sector worldwide, supplying restaurants, hotels and caterers with both regional staples and international references.
Sensory Profile
The blend opens on the warm, woody pungency of black pepper, softened by the sweetness of dextrose and the savoury depth of garlic and onion. The natural lemon flavour cuts through with a clean citrus note, while turmeric rounds the colour to a warm golden tone. The result is balanced and direct: salty, peppery and fresh at once, without the harshness of raw pepper alone.
Professional Uses
1) Finishing roasted fish: dust sea bass, bream or salmon fillets before and after roasting for an instant lemon-pepper crust. 2) Grilled and seared meats: season tagliata, beef steaks and chicken breast just before searing, around 1 g per portion. 3) Roast vegetables and potatoes: toss potatoes, zucchini and bell peppers with oil and a pinch before the oven. 4) Cold preparations: stir into hummus, whipped butter, mayonnaise, labneh and salad dressings. 5) Marinades: mix with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice for grilled fish and seafood skewers.
Pairings
This seasoning salt pairs naturally with grilled and oven fish, white meats, eggs, roast potatoes, legumes and fresh cheeses. It works alongside other Ristoris spices in the LAPA range, such as black and white pepper, pink peppercorns and dried oregano, to build a complete seasoning station for the kitchen.
