Cyprus has a rich history of lemon cultivation, and is well-known for its juicy, thin-skinned lemons. The most commonly planted variety is Lapithkiotiki, named after the village of Lapithos, which is similar to the Eureka variety in size, texture and quality. The Cyprus Lemon is highly regarded for its aroma, taste, and high juice and acid content, and is typically harvested from October to February with a long shelf life when properly stored.
