Lemon Marmalade with Peel Agrimontana 1 kg
Agrimontana Lemon Marmalade with Peel is a professional preserve made with 47 g of Italian lemons per 100 g, cane sugar and hand-cut lemon zest strips (3.5%). Concentrated under vacuum at low temperature to protect the fruit's aroma, it contains no preservatives, no colorants and no added flavorings, and is naturally gluten free. The 1 kg catering jar is built for pastry labs, gelato makers, restaurants and hotels that need a citrus base with consistent quality across the whole year.
What Lemon Marmalade with Peel Is
Lemon marmalade is the classic citrus preserve of Southern Italy, where the lemon is cooked with sugar and enriched with strips of zest that carry the essential oils and the slightly bitter note typical of the fruit. Unlike a smooth jelly, this marmalade keeps visible filaments of peel that add texture and an intense, mature-lemon aroma free of off-notes. The clear orange colour and the balance between sweetness and acidity make it a versatile working ingredient rather than a simple table spread.
The Producer: Agrimontana
Agrimontana was founded in 1972 by Cesare Bardini in Borgo San Dalmazzo, in the province of Cuneo, Piedmont. Born from an artisanal candied-fruit workshop, the company became one of the Italian references for fruit processing, supplying pastry shops, gelaterie, restaurants and hotels. Agrimontana's philosophy is clean processing that preserves the original organoleptic qualities of the fruit: vacuum concentration at low temperature, no synthetic additives, no dyes and no preservatives. This 1 kg jar is distributed in Switzerland by LAPA.
Sensory Profile
Clear orange colour, dense and spreadable texture with visible hand-cut zest filaments. The aroma is the intense, characteristic scent of ripe lemon, with no foreign notes. On the palate the natural sweetness of cane sugar is balanced by the fresh acidity and the gentle bitterness of the peel, giving a long, clean citrus finish that holds up well in both sweet and savoury work.
