Preserved Lemon Paste | If & When

Short cut to big flavor.

Moroccan Preserved Meyer Lemon is a rub for raw meat, fish and vegetables; and an essential baking and cocktail ingredient that moonlights as a cheese pairing.

We barrel-age California Meyer lemons with a signature blend of spices to make a complex, fragrant purée as suitable a marinade for meat as it is a mixer for margaritas.

Taste the Paste

We make If & When in California in small batches with local Meyer lemons grown on organic, family-owned farms; sea salt, spices and love.

A zero-waste product, we cure the entire lemon - skin, seeds and all - and barrel-age the citrus for up to three years before puréeing into a paste.
