Kalamansi (also spelled calamansi) is a small citrus fruit, a natural cross between a mandarin and a kumquat, with a sharp, tart juice and a fragrant, floral peel - often described as somewhere between a lime and a mandarin. It's one of the most widely used ingredients in Filipino cooking, but the fresh fruit is almost impossible to find in the UK, which makes a good concentrate genuinely useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts main use is as a cordial: dilute with water to taste for a refreshing citrus drink, hot or cold. But kalamansi is a workhorse ingredient in the Philippines well beyond drinks - it's the base of toyomansi, the classic dipping sauce made with soy sauce, and it turns up in marinades, dressings and desserts wherever a bright, tart citrus note is wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuine taste of Filipino cooking - kalamansi is a staple ingredient there, but rarely found fresh in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by Pick \u0026amp; Squeeze, a well-established Philippine brand\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sharp, fragrant citrus flavour - like a cross between a mandarin and a lime, with more floral depth than either on its own\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuinely versatile: a drink, a dipping sauce, a marinade and a dessert ingredient, all from the same bottle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA convenient way to use kalamansi without needing to track down the fresh fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDilute with water to taste as a cordial-style drink - start with roughly one part concentrate to four parts water and adjust from there\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix with soy sauce, a little chilli and garlic for a classic Filipino dipping sauce (toyomansi) for grilled meat, dumplings or spring rolls\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in place of lime or lemon in a marinade for chicken, pork or fish\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStir into a dressing, glaze or dessert - a curd, sorbet or bar - wherever a bright citrus lift is wanted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore information:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePick \u0026amp; Squeeze, a Philippine brand specialising in kalamansi concentrate\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e320ml bottle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarian, not suitable for vegans (contains honey)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a cool, dry place before opening; once opened, keep in the fridge and use within a few weeks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllergens: NONE\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredients: Sugar, water, kalamansi juice, honey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pick \u0026 Squeeze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492104282487,"sku":"JUICE1","price":5.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/6008\/3610\/files\/Pick-and-Squeeze-Kalamansie-Concentrate-320g.jpg?v=1790414574","url":"https:\/\/somersetfoodie.com\/products\/pick-squeeze-kalamansi-concentrate-320ml","provider":"Somerset Foodie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
