What is the wholesale price of Puratos Deli Citron (5 kg)?

The current wholesale price for a 5-kg container of Deli Citron Lemon-Flavored Ready-to-Use Filling is 4,750 TL—which works out to 950 TL per kilogram. The price excludes VAT and, as this is an imported item, may be subject to fluctuations in exchange rates and batch variations; please obtain written confirmation from our sales representative before placing an order.

Is this the product you’re looking for under the name “Crazy Lemon”?

Yes. The brand name for Puratos’s ready-to-use lemon filling is Deli Citron; it is commonly referred to in the industry as “crazy lemon” or “crazy lemon filling.” The same line also includes caramel (Deli Karamel), speculoos (Deli Speculoos), and dulce de leche (Deli Dulce de Leche).

What is the difference between Deli Citron and Cremfil Lemon?

Both are Puratos ready-to-use fillings, but they have different characteristics: The Deli series highlights the fruit flavor, with a sharper and fresher taste; the Cremfil series has a creamy character and leaves a softer, richer mouthfeel. If you want a tart with a pronounced tartness, Deli Citron is the better choice; if you prefer a milder lemon cream, Cremfil Lemon 6 kg is more suitable.

For technical limitations such as dosage, oven stability, and shelf life, refer to Puratos’s technical data sheet and packaging label for both products.

How many servings are in a 5-kg bucket, and what is the cost per serving?

The calculation is based on a bucket price of 4,750 TL; it does not include scrap.

In which desserts is it used?

It is most commonly used in lemon tarts and tartlets. In addition, it is used as a filling for eclairs and profiteroles, between sponge cake layers, in Swiss rolls, as a filling for macarons, as a topping for cheesecakes, and in spoon desserts. Businesses that use ready-made mixes for the crust typically pair them with Tegral Patacrout pastry crust mix or Tegral Clara Ultra pastry mix.

Is it used just as it comes out of the bucket?

Yes, Deli Citron is ready to use; it does not require cooking, boiling with sugar, or adding a thickening agent. It is dispensed directly from the bucket using a spatula or filling machine. Gently stirring the top portion of the bucket before use eliminates any consistency differences that may have developed while it was sitting.

Can the consistency be thinned out?

If a more fluid filling is desired, it can be thinned with a small amount of water or lemon juice; however, this reduces both the intensity of the flavor and the filling’s ability to retain its shape. For businesses using filling machines, increasing the nozzle diameter rather than thinning the mixture yields more reliable results. Refer to the technical data sheet for the dilution ratio.

Is it mixed with shanti or cream?

Yes, it’s a common technique. When Deli Citron is mixed with whipped cream in a ratio close to 1:1, it creates a light lemon mousse; it’s often used in eclairs and cup desserts. For this purpose, Puratos Chantypak 1 L (sweetened) or Cuisipak unsweetened whipped cream is used. Unsweetened whipped cream generally yields a more balanced result because the filling itself is quite sweet.

Is a gel or gloss applied to it?

The surface of lemon tarts tends to dry out and lose its shine in the display case; cold jelly solves this problem and extends the shelf life. To prevent discoloration, the clear variety is preferred: Brillo Plain Cold Jelly, 7 kg. The chocolate and caramel varieties are intended for dark desserts.

How should an opened can be stored, and how long does it last?

Unopened containers should be stored in a cool, dry place until the best-by date on the packaging; refrigeration is not necessary. Once opened, the lid must be tightly closed, and the spoon or spatula must always be clean—moisture and crumbs entering the filling are the number one cause of spoilage. Refer to the information on the package label for the shelf life of an opened container.

Can it be frozen?

It is not recommended to freeze the filling itself; water separation occurs during thawing, which damages the texture. However, flash-freezing filled products (such as tart shells with the filling removed) may be feasible depending on the facility; do not apply this to the entire production run without first testing it on a small batch.

Why isn’t it setting properly, or why is the bottom getting soggy?

The three most common causes: spreading the filling before the tart shell has dried sufficiently, the filling being thinned too much, and the display case temperature being too high. Covering the base with a thin layer of chocolate (Coverfil White or Coverfil Dark) before adding the filling significantly reduces moisture absorption.

What other flavors are available in the Puratos ready-to-use filling line?

You can view the entire series on the Puratos brand page.

What are the product’s technical specifications?

Always refer to the product’s current packaging label and the Puratos technical data sheet for nutritional information, allergen information, dosage, and best-by date.

How many buckets can be ordered?

You can place an order on a per-bucket (5 kg) basis. Since the number of units per box and any minimum order requirements may vary depending on the production batch, our sales representative will confirm these details in writing before the order is placed.

Which businesses use it?

Pastry shops, boutique bakeries, hotel pastry kitchens, coffee shop chains, and catering kitchens that produce desserts in bulk. You can find our full range of products for coffee shops and pastry shops on our wholesale food page for coffee shops and pastry shops.
