New York Shuk Preserved Lemon Paste, 10 oz.
Preserved lemons are made by packing whole lemons in salt and lemon juice, then allowing time to work its magic. Through natural fermentation, their flavor deepens and transforms, becoming more complex, aromatic, and wonderfully intense. You know they’re ready when the lemons have fully softened—the rind turning velvety, rich, and tender.
From just two simple ingredients and a little patience emerges a condiment that can do everything fresh lemons can—yet with an added layer of savory, umami-laden depth. As renowned cookbook author Paula Wolfert wrote in The Food of Morocco, “The taste, texture, and aroma of preserved lemons are unique and cannot be duplicated… fresh lemons are never an adequate substitute.”
This quiet culinary alchemy explains why preserved lemons are among the most cherished fermented staples across North Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent. Michelin-starred chef Mourad Lahlou called them Morocco’s “national anthem of flavor” in his cookbook Mourad: New Moroccan. “What soy sauce and fish sauce are to Asian cooking, preserved lemons are to Moroccan food,” he writes. “Wherever they are used, they add a particular kind of almost intoxicating intensity that’s unlike any other ingredient I know.”
New York Shuk's Preserved Lemon Paste brings together the simplest ingredients—lemons, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and sea salt—with a time-honored method that transforms them into a richly flavored, radiant condiment. Fans describe it best: “The Preserved Lemon Paste is like sunshine in a jar—if the sun was feeling a little wild that day, maybe hanging a little sideways and singing a song.”
Because this paste is a true celebration of lemon, sourcing exceptional fruit is NY Shuk's top priority. They begin with certified organic, non-waxed lemons grown by Sepse Creek Organics, a family farm in Ventura County, California. The lemons are cured in salt for two to four months, depending on the season—fermenting more quickly in warmer weather—until the peels become tender and supple and the flesh turns as jammy as marmalade. They then blend the fermented lemons into a smooth, almost creamy paste that delivers a remarkable punch of flavor.
Made through natural fermentation, this Preserved Lemon Paste varies in color from vibrant yellow to soft golden brown. Brighter hues signal a shorter fermentation and a lively, effervescent taste, while deeper tones reflect a longer cure and a more mellow, complex flavor.
Using Preserved Lemon Paste couldn't be simpler: mix with olive oil for an impressive salad dressing, use as a zesty marinade for your chicken and beef, coat your fish or seafood before grilling, make an irresistible dip by mixing it with yogurt, toss through pasta and parmesan for a quick dinner, spread on your favorite sandwich or add it to your cocktails for a bright surprise.
