Memorable Quotes: "Oh My God! - take that away from me, I could just sit and eat a whole jar in
one go!" We new we had made something special when we introduced this product at the Pyrmont growers market & found ourselves witnessing a rush of 8 people for the last 5 jars of the very first batch of Finger Lime Curd which resulted in an argument between the 4 last people to grab a jar...
Tasting Notes: A divinely smooth and surprisingly tart fresh curd featuring the Finger Lime. Finger Lime flesh is in tiny balls like caviar. These balls are suspended through the curd as tiny balls of flavour. When you bite them they pop in your mouth releasing a lime burst onto the palette that is indescribably addictive. Most often eaten by the spoonful this product is only available through direct order or at the markets. It is great with strawberries or in small vol au vent cases or tart bases.
Natural History: The Finger Lime Citrus australasica is a thorny sprawling rainforest understorey tree that grows in sub tropical Rainforest in northern NSW and south east Queensland. Its fruit are truly delightful being the size and shape of fingers but containing flesh in individual vesicles like caviar. A strong and very aromatic lime flavour somewhere between a Tahitian and Kaffir lime, very distinctive and exciting to work with.
Our Finger Limes are grown in the northern rivers region of NSW between Lismore & Byron Bay on small organic style plantations. The Finger Lime is only an emerging crop at this stage and there are many problems with supply of the fruit.
