The Mahjoub family farms the soil in the lush Mejerda Valley of Tunisa located on the southern shores of the Mediterranean. It is here that they produce handcrafted products under the Les Moulins Mahjoub label and are known for their steadfast commitment to artisan standards and sustainable farming. The Mahjoubs are recognized in the culinary world as one of the premier producers of artisan specialties.

With their soft and subtle flavor, preserved lemons add mild zing to countless North African and Mediterranean dishes. Les Moulins Mahjoub’s all-natural lemons lend the same brightness to savory foods like rice and couscous, baked fish and chicken, soups and stews.

Features:

• Simply preserved in brine, they achieve a flavor that is smoother yet more intense than that of fresh lemons.
• The entire lemon is edible, including the tender skin.
• Thinly slice the fruit to add to steamed fish, roasted chicken and grain dishes.
• During the preserving process, the lemons release their juice into the brine, creating a lemon infusion that is wonderful in soups and sauces.
• Handcrafted in Tunisia, in accordance with 3,000 years of culinary tradition.
• Made on the Mahjoub family farm, a 250-year-old farm that employs the entire local village in growing, cooking and packaging every item.
• Certified organic.
• Don't let the pepper fool you.  The lemons have a mild heat - not wicked!
