Culinary Harvest Organic Fingerlimes are turning up in the best of places! From relative obscurity only a few years ago, our “citrus caviar” is now livening up drinks, seafood dishes, baked goods and much more.
Once only available in frozen form imported from Australia, Culinary Specialty Produce has teamed with enterprising and forward thinking domestic growers to offer this flexible, exciting product to American consumers for the first time in fresh, never-frozen form.
“Retail is just one side of what we’re doing” said Mark Pittenger, Director of Sales at Culinary Specialty Produce. “The foodservice side of things is beginning to get some real traction. The flexibility offered by Fingerlimes opens up endless usage possibilities at all levels of foodservice.”
Spooned gently onto oyster and other seafood dishes, they not only add the appearance of beautiful miniature pearls, they add a sweet lime flavor that can only be described as absolutely delicious. Desserts are made more interesting and flavorful as easily as pairing Fingerlimes with vanilla ice cream.
Pairing Organic Fingerlimes with cocktails is made simple by the product’s flexibility. Any drink which uses lime can benefit in both flavor and appearance by working Fingerlimes into the recipe. From a signature drink developed with the Fingerlime in mind to a simple and elegant spoonful in a glass of champagne, you can’t go wrong.
For the baker, the possibilities offered by this delicious product are limited only by their imagination. Consider the uncomplicated beauty of a piece of Key Lime Pie sprinkled lovingly with Fingerlime roe.
Culinary Harvest offers Organic Fingerlimes in many foodservice-friendly packs. Pack sizes include a 2 ounce, 4 ounce, 8 ounce, ½ dry pint containers and pound units.
Culinary Harvest Organic Fingerlimes offer consumers a solid shelf life, as well. “These aren’t like most other specialty produce items which can have very limited shelf life. If held properly, the end user can expect similar shelf life to your typical citrus items.” said Richard Leibowitz, President of Culinary Specialty Produce. ”We expect that this fact will make it easier for the uninitiated yet interested professional to bring in that first order.”
