Were great in December but now small
At Christmas I became a fan of these lemons, they were fantastic. Now they are the size of the standard ones in a net and I wouldn't pay the money. It must be a seasonal thing, I would try again if reviews suggest improvement.

Beautiful pure lemons
No these lemons do not always have unblemished yellow skin, they are not uniform in size and shape but does that matter? They are unwaxed, look and smell so fresh and most importantly give the purest lemony-est taste I have found. Using both zest and juice for a lemon dessert gave an amazing result.

Variable quality
When these lemons are good, they are fabulous. I mean the real thing - huge, juicy and with knobbly, aromatic peel. Unfortunately, too often one or other or both has been dry, tiny and/ or mouldy and in these cases the price cannot be justified. By the way, when writing a review, why is a semi colon an "invalid character"? Don't we write the Queen's English at Ocado?

disappointing
Had one largish lemon and one small one. The large one had brown patches on the skin. I won't buy again as I don't think the quality is worth the price.
Thank you for your review, we are sorry you were disappointed by the Amalfi lemons. Their skin can certainly be knobbly and not uniform in colour, but this does not influence the amazing flavour of the juice and zest.
Recipes
Fatoush Salad with Grilled Halloumi
This lunch hails from the eastern Mediterranean. Fatoush is made with the Lebanese/Syrian equivalent of croutons- small pieces of toasted pitta bread, which soak up the juices of this hyper-fresh salad and provide its body. Squeaky grilled halloumi is the perfect accompaniment.

Fresh lemons and mint bring a zingy flavour to this simple dish. Juices from the duck are packed full of flavour so don't forget the dipping bread.

Zesty gems
These lemons are zesty with thick skins and tart juice. The zest is especially good. They do vary in size, coloration etc. but I suppose you're paying for the taste rather than the look - the opposite of standard supermarket fruit and veg.
