How to make the most of citrus season

Citrus fruit is often associated with warmer weather, but oranges are actually one of late winter’s greatest offerings. The moderate winter temperatures in hotter climates of Southern Europe and California allow fruit to ripen gradually, so winter and early spring are a great time to enjoy rarer varieties at their peak. 

Knowing how and when to use citrus fruits in your cooking allows you to tone the flavour profile of your dishes up or down. Lemons and limes add sharp, bright acidity to savoury and sweet dishes. Oranges have a mellow sweetness that works wonderfully in cakes and salads, and grapefruits bring a bitterness that compliments sharp, salty flavours well.

When it comes to the big squeeze, every drop counts. With the right tools, juicing oranges, lemons and limes becomes light work. Our gadgets are designed to keep juice where you want it, and make it easy to dispose of unwanted pips and pulp.
