Bright, tangy, and deeply complex—this preserved Meyer lemon paste is the secret ingredient your pantry’s been waiting for. Made in California, it starts with Meyer lemons from organic, family-owned farms, salt-cured with Tellicherry peppercorns and pickled garlic, then barrel-aged for up to three years before being pureed into a spoonable, spreadable paste.

This paste is seafood’s loyal companion. It’s perfect with miso and sesame oil and as a rub for fish. Its lower acidity means it doesn’t “cook” seafood, making it a favorite among fishmongers. Rub 1 tsp. per serving on raw seafood and marinate for up to 24 hours before cooking.


Why you’ll love it:

  • Crafted with organic Meyer lemons and aged for deep, layered flavor
  • Adds vibrant citrus complexity to both savory + creamy dishes
  • Small-batch, made in California with time-honored tradition
  • Plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free and organic

How to enjoy

  • Use as a marinade for fish or chicken
  • Add a spoonful to guacamole for a tangy, flavorful twist
  • Stir into creamy pasta sauces, soups, or salsas
