Badia Lime Juice 10 oz

Bottled lime juice lives next to the stove in a lot of Cuban kitchens for one reason: bistec de palomilla doesn't wait for you to find a lime.

Badia lime juice is shelf-stable, pre-squeezed juice in a 10 oz bottle — the same workhorse acid behind quick marinades, finishing splashes over fried fish, and the cocktail shaker on a Friday night.

Common Uses: marinating bistec de palomilla and pollo a la plancha, finishing camarones al ajillo, building mojo for yuca, hitting vaca frita right off the pan, mixing mojitos and daiquiris without the prep.

Pairs With: garlic, olive oil, naranja agria, white rum, mint, and raw sliced onions for the classic palomilla setup.

Cultural Context: In diaspora households where the lime tree in the backyard didn't make the trip from Cuba, this bottle does the work — keeping the acid layer in Cuban cooking consistent year-round, regardless of what's in season at the grocery store. It's the quiet pantry fix that lets a Tuesday night dinner taste right.

A hidden-gem staple — not flashy, but the cooks who use it keep a backup bottle. Ships nationwide to Cuban-American kitchens wherever palomilla is on the menu.
