Yuzu Português
By Maria SantosAlgarve
Aromatic citrus cultivated in the Algarve that offers flavour profiles similar to Japanese yuzu.
The Algarve, with its Mediterranean climate and centuries-old citrus tradition, has seen experimental cultivation of yuzu and similar aromatic citrus. Innovative producers take advantage of ideal sun and soil conditions.
The aromatic peel and intense juice are particularly valued by high-end Portuguese chefs. Yuzu cultivation is part of the diversification of Algarve citrus farming, offering high-value niche products.
