Limes (raw fruit)

From Mexico's lime groves in Veracruz, Michoacán and Colima comes part of the fruit later pressed and bottled in Spain — sun, soil and sea in a single drop.

History

Limes arrived in Mexico with the Spanish in the 16th century and became as fundamental to Mexican cuisine as chili and corn. Today Mexico is the world's largest producer of limes — a heritage that ties old and new.

Lifestyle

Vibrant, warm, social — a culture where the meal is a celebration and hospitality a sacred duty. Families gather for comida around two o'clock, markets bubble with shouts and scents, evenings fill with music in the squares.

Gastronomy

Tacos al pastor, mole poblano in seven varieties, ceviche from the coasts, guacamole, aguachile, pozole — lime is the very acid of Mexican cuisine, binding heat, fat and freshness in a single forkful.

The people & families

On the beach in Tulum and Sayulita friends share a cold glass of limonada at sunset. In the markets of Oaxaca mother and daughter sell fresh limes side by side. Family lunches where grandfather squeezes the lime himself onto his ceviche.

Landscapes & farms

Lime groves in Colima and Michoacán with their dark green leaves and small round green fruit. Volcanic soils give the fruit its intense aroma. Pacific in the background, rainforests to the east.

Arts, music & literature

Frida Kahlo and her self-portraits, Diego Rivera and his murals, Octavio Paz (Nobel 1990), Juan Rulfo and Pedro Páramo, Carlos Fuentes, mariachi from Jalisco, son jarocho from Veracruz, ranchera and bolero.

Our partnership

We buy from family-owned groves with generations of experience, fair-trade certified. Picking is done by hand at dawn when the oils in the peel are most aromatic.

The journey to you

Fresh limes from Mexico are shipped to Spain where they are pressed, bottled in glass and forwarded to Sweden — a transatlantic journey of three weeks carrying the Pacific sun.
