PENNY Salzzitronen

Brand and Product Overview

This product features pickled preserved lemons ('Zitronen mit Schale, in Salzlake') sold under the private label range of the German discount chain PENNY. Pickled lemons in brine are a traditional staple of North African and Mediterranean cuisines (notably Moroccan cuisine), which is also reflected in the packaging design featuring themed motifs.

Origin and Manufacturing

Preserved lemons distributed under German supermarket private labels are typically produced and packed in Mediterranean countries, primarily Morocco or Egypt, where both the fruit is harvested and traditional brining methods are established. The private label distribution is managed on behalf of PENNY Markt GmbH.
