Key Lime: Small, Tart, Intensely Aromatic
The petite lime with big, unmistakable flavor.
SMALL FRUIT, BOLD AROMA
Key Lime, Small Fruit With Bold Flavor
Key limes are smaller and more aromatic than common limes, prized for their intensely tart, floral juice that defines classic Key lime pie and countless Latin American dishes and drinks. Their thin skin and abundant juice make them a favorite for zest and fresh-squeezed flavor. At Latin Specialties, we source Key limes for consistent quality and juice yield, case after case.
Small, tart, and intensely aromatic—Key lime packs big flavor into every fruit.

Classic dessert recipe
Key Lime Pie
Graham cracker crust and a creamy, tart filling of sweetened condensed milk and fresh key lime juice.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp melted butter and ¼ cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 cup fresh Latin Specialties Key Lime juice (about 12 key limes)
- 2 tsp key lime zest
- Whipped cream, to serve
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the crumbs, butter and sugar, press into a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 10 minutes. Lower the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Whisk the egg yolks and zest until pale, then whisk in the condensed milk and lime juice.
- Pour into the crust and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly.
- Cool, then chill at least 4 hours. Serve cold with whipped cream.
TipFresh juice is key: squeeze it the same day for the most aromatic flavor.
