More about limes
Flavour, colour, versatility
Limes are widely used for their sharp acidity, fragrant oils, and striking green colour. From beverages to cooking and beyond, they're a must-have for foodservice and retail assortments.
Key sourcing regions
We import limes primarily from Brazil and Colombia. These countries offer consistent supply through most of the year, with good control over fruit size and colour.
Varieties and format
Hillfresh focuses on the Persian (Tahiti) lime — seedless, aromatic, and larger in size. It's the preferred choice for European customers due to its shelf stability and visual appeal.
Logistics and freshness
Limes are sensitive to dehydration and greening. We use fast shipping methods and reliable packers to ensure freshness upon arrival and optimise shelf performance.
