Discover The Original Black Lemon
At The Original Black Garlic, we’ve always believed that great flavour takes time. Our signature black garlic has shown how patience, care, and natural ageing can transform a familiar ingredient into something extraordinary.
Now, we’re bringing that same magic to a new ingredient — and expanding our aged ingredients range — with the launch of The Original Black Lemon, available in both slices and powder.
Zesty citrus. Subtle spice. Perfectly bitter.
What is Black Lemon?
A popular ingredient in Middle Eastern dishes, Black Lemon has been cherished for its distinctive depth and citrusy brightness.
At The Original Black Garlic, our Black Lemon is made from fresh lemons slowly aged with nothing but heat and time — no additives, no preservatives, and absolutely nothing artificial. The result is a 100% natural, beautifully balanced ingredient that brings a new dimension to your cooking.
What Does Black Lemon Taste Like?
Black Lemon offers a bright yet balanced flavour with zesty citrus notes, a touch of gentle bitterness, and a subtle spice that lifts both sweet and savoury dishes. It’s citrusy without being sharp, complex without being overpowering — a perfect harmony of freshness and depth.
How Can I Use Black Lemon?
Whether you choose slices or powder, Black Lemon is endlessly versatile and easy to use.
Black Lemon Powder can be stirred, blended, or sprinkled to add instant citrus complexity, while Black Lemon Slices bring a bold visual touch and aromatic lift.
Perfect for:
Adding to hot or cold beverages
Enhancing sauces, marinades and dressings
Transforming soups, stews and tagines
Bringing citrus notes to baking, desserts and cocktails
Black Lemon Slices also make a striking garnish for cocktails, festive drinks, or even cakes. A beautiful finishing touch that tastes as good as it looks.
The Natural Goodness of Black Lemon
The slow ageing process doesn’t just intensify flavour — it also enhances nutrition. As the lemons age, their nutrients are preserved and concentrated, making The Original Black Lemon naturally high in fibre and potassium, and especially rich in vitamin C.
In fact, it contains over four times more vitamin C than fresh lemon — 233.3 mg vs. 50 mg per 100 g — supporting your immune system and overall wellbeing.
Black Lemon is naturally rich in vitamin C, which:
Supports immune system function
Helps combat tiredness and fatigue
Enhances iron absorption
Aids in regenerating vitamin E in the body
Its high potassium content also supports a healthy nervous system, promotes normal muscle function, and helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
Bringing a New Kind of Brightness
With our new Black Lemon Slices and Black Lemon Powder, discover a new dimension of citrus — one that’s both zesty and beautifully zingy.
From cocktails to cooking, savoury to sweet, The Original Black Lemon adds an unexpected twist that transforms the everyday into something extraordinary.
