Lemon

October — August

Spain – one of the longest lemon seasons in the world

Iberica Fruit, based in Valencia – a region famous for its great citrus – offers the finest varieties of lemon. Spanish lemons have their peak season from autumn through spring. The most popular variety Primafiori starts in October and lasts until April, followed by Verna from March until July/August. Verna can also have a second harvest at the end of summer. Lemons are mostly grown in the Valencia region, Murcia and Andalucia.
