CASABLANCA MARKET Moroccan Preserved Lemons – Authentic Moroccan Preserved Lemons in Jar – Whole Non-GMO Preserved Lemon – Preserved Lemons for Couscous or Tagine Pot for Moroccan Cooking (25oz)

Arrived carefully packed. Wanted this for a NYT recipe, and it was perfect. If you don't know what preserved lemons taste like, don't order this thinking it's something to spread on toast! It is salty and tart and kicks up a sauce very nicely.

These were perfect.

This is my first-- and last-- purchase of this product. I ordered based on the Amazon ratings, and I was disappointed. The jar held 2 "squished" whole lemons and a less-than-half lemon. I didn't expect perfectly shaped lemons but it looked like someone maybe had to smash these into the jar. This made it really difficult to get the lemons out of the jar using just a spoon or fork, and I don't like putting fingers (albeit clean) into food jars. The lemons themselves lacked flavor or punch, and there was barely any fragrance to them, which I though unusual. The lemons themselves had many seeds- small, hard and brown. I used the lemons in 3 different dishes and I can't say that they added anything to the flavor. I would have been much better off using regular fresh lemons in the dishes. I would not recommend this brand of product.

I had a chicken recipe that called for this ingredient. Our grocery stores didn’t carry it. The added preserved lemon I used from this vendor made a huge difference in the lemony taste. I’ll be using this in other dishes.

I know it's easy to make preserved lemons at home, but I don't use them super often so I forget to make them ahead. It's easy to keep a jar of preserves like these in the pantry. These lemons are preserved whole and you chop or slice them as needed. I think I might prefer the sliced or smashed varieties, but with these whole ones you don't lose much lemon when you drain off the brine.

delicious

The preserved lemons have a great tang and salty flavor as they are supposed. However, there was literally only 2 lemons in the jar and a tiny babe lemon for $14.5. It is overpriced for 2 lemons simply pickled in salt. Not worth the price, I will keep making my own. I just bough these for comparison.

This was my first jar of preserved lemons; I was trying a recipe in my newly-purchased tagine, of chicken and merguez sausages, and it called for preserved lemon peel. The dish was wonderful, very aromatic, full of exotic spices, and the peel added just the zest the dish needed. I’m pleased and will use it in other North African dishes.
