The famous lemons of Menton differ from other varieties in their elliptical shape, lack of bitterness, richer colors, and oil-rich peels, which impart a more pronounced fragrance.

There is a legend that when Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, Eve took a lemon with her and buried it on the spot that would become Menton.
