According to Aranda, the fruit has "a very sweet and unique flavour." The product is consumed fresh and is not suitable as a condiment, like traditional lemon, as it would just sweeten the flavour of the dish in question. "It has nothing to do with limes or other similar fruits; it has a unique flavour and texture."
As for the appearance of the tree, it is somewhat less round than that of regular lemons, and the branches are longer than those of an orange tree. Each tree yields a large volume of fruit throughout the season. Aranda insists that the market should open to this variety, since it "has the same needs as regular lemons." To reproduce the trees, you only need to use grafts, "and with 200 units, it could be produced," although nobody is daring to do it, given how the product doesn't fit into current eating habits.
The producer explains that this variety is "virtually unknown" beyond the borders of the province of Malaga, even in the place where citrus crops are common, and that it is only cultivated in a handful of private farms.
