More about lemons
The citrus all-rounder
Lemons are in high demand across foodservice and retail thanks to their bold acidity and versatility. Their year-round relevance makes them a priority product in most fruit assortments.
Varietal focus
We source mainly the Eureka and Primofiori varieties, selected for their juice content, thin peel, and colour consistency. These lemons are ideal for bulk programs and pre-packed formats.
Origins and seasons
Hillfresh works with partners in Spain for early- and mid-season supply, and South Africa for off-season continuity. This strategy helps keep pricing and availability balanced throughout the year.
Packaging and handling
Lemons hold well post-harvest but require correct degreening, brushing, and grading. We ensure that fruit meets cosmetic standards and arrives clean, fresh, and firm.
