Why love it
Light as a sigh but intense in flavour. Brined limes are dried either until pale and sour with a musky, fermented edge, or matured until black, richer and earthier.
Match with
Bean: dark chocolate, white chocolate
Sweet fruit: watermelon, mango
Spice & herb: chilli, vanilla, mahleb, fennel, ginger, cardamom, coriander, lime leaf, rose
Sweet: honey, sugar syrup
Extract the flavour
Whole dried limes need liquid to rehydrate and draw out their full potential. Or buy as a powder for a quick, sharp release.
