Lemon varieties
Lemon Primofiori: The classic that never fails
The Primofiori lemon, or as many call it, the Fino lemon, is one of the most known and consumed in our country. Surely you are familiar with it because it is the typical lemon that you find all year round in greengrocers, especially in the cooler months.
Primofiori lemon characteristics
It has a thin and smooth skin, its shape is rounded and it stands out for having a lot of juice. Perfect for making lemonade, dressing your salads, or adding that tangy touch to your favourite dishes.
Benefits of Primofiori lemon
This variety of lemon is a great source of vitamin C, which makes it a natural ally to strengthen your defenses and keep colds at bay. It is also rich in antioxidants, which helps keep skin healthy and youthful.
Primofiori lemon production season
The best thing about Primofiori is that you can enjoy it from October to April, which makes it the ideal lemon for the cold months, when we need it most to take care of ourselves. Although it is commonly available at greengrocers throughout the year.

Lemon Verna: The summer giant
The Verna lemon is undoubtedly the star of the warmer months. It differs from the Primofiori in its size (it is larger), and its skin is somewhat thicker, which makes it perfect for those looking for a less acidic but equally delicious lemon.
Characteristics of the Verna lemon
This lemon has a rougher and thicker skin, and although it contains a little less juice than Primofiori, its flavor is milder. It is ideal for use in cooking, especially in dessert recipes or dishes that need a citrus touch but without so much acidity.
Benefits of Verna lemon
In addition to being a good source of vitamin C, the Verna lemon is rich in essential oils found in its skin. These oils are known for their aromatic and relaxing properties, making it ideal for preparing infusions or even for use in home beauty treatments.
Verna lemon production season
This lemon starts to be harvested in April and is available until August, making it the perfect lemon to refresh your drinks or meals in summer.
