Moroccan Citron

Moroccan citron, a unique variety of citrus fruit known locally as "Beldi," is cherished for its distinct aroma and flavor. Unlike the more common types of citron, Moroccan citron is smaller and has a more intense, aromatic profile, characterized by a sophisticated blend of tart and sweet with floral and lightly spicy undertones. The rind is richly fragrant, releasing oils that are more potent and sweeter than those of regular lemons or limes, often described as having hints of rose, lime, and herbs. Traditionally used in Moroccan cuisine, it adds a vibrant, refreshing layer to dishes, from tagines to salads, and is also popular in the creation of preserved lemons, a staple in local culinary practices. The scent of Moroccan citron is highly valued in perfumery and aromatherapy for its bright, uplifting properties.
