…make lemon drizzle cake! This month, we’re delving into the zesty world of lemons for our February flavour of the month. Keep reading to discover our favourite lemon products, recipes and flavour pairings.

Think about the flavour of lemon. Zesty, tangy and sour are the words that usually spring to mind! Now, think of your favourite lemon flavoured product. Here at Keylink, the answers ranged from a lemontop ice cream to lemon olive oil cake, white chocolate lemon bonbons and lemon squares!
Simply put, much like January’s flavour of the month, vanilla, lemon is extremely versatile. It’s harder to find a flavour lemon doesn’t pair with, than it is to find one that it does!
The idea of squeezing fresh lemons or zesting them for a homemade recipe is always a romantic notion, but doing this for over 100 lemons suddenly becomes something you would wince at. Figuratively and literally. So, let us remove the hard work and take a look at what lemon products might best suit your application!
If you need lemon to be the core of your product, our Bakestable lemon cream spread is ready-to-go out of the tub and can be piped directly into baked goods or into a tartlet!
Alternatively, make a whipped ganache the star of the show with Colac lemon flavour compound. Or really push the boat out and hit this summer’s big cocktail flavour trend with brand new Limoncello flavour compound!
Lemon can also enhance and complement flavours with its acidic profile. The natural sweetness of strawberries or coconut balances the profiles of sweet and acidic, allowing both of these flavours to really shine. Try drizzling Lemon Coating over a strawberry tart!
Offering the aromatics of sweet lemon just before your customers tuck into their treats, our candied lemon range makes adding this flavour a stress-free breeze.
Or for a quick and easy way to elevate your desserts and ice cream sundaes, a squeeze of Lemon Curd Topping Sauce is the perfect addition.
While we’ve touched on how versatile lemon is for pairing combos, we do have a few favourites:
And we thought we’d drop in a few inspiring recipes to get your imagination whirring!
Keep your eyes peeled for our next flavour of the month in March, almond!
We love seeing all your creations, don’t forget to tag us on social media @keylinkltd in all your lemon posts.

Earlier this year, the Barry Callebaut factory in Belgium closed for several months following a salmonella-positive chocolate production lot. While the factory has re-opened and our Callebaut stocks are improving again, the closure had a significant ripple effect on the chocolate industry and our other brands continue to be in high demand.
