I don't think I have ever seen that trademark name at the local store -
there are a couple brands here, I'll have to check.

My last bottle smelled just like the ripe whole key limes I can sometimes
get by the bag and just like the little ripe key limes I get in Florida, and
not like other limes.

However, I have a brand new bottle and brand, Nellie and Joes, and it says
"Key West Lime Juice from concentrate", and it's from a shop in the Florida
keys.
They say "the only lime juice manufactured in the keys" which is a kind of
odd phrasing, and why an extra step of "from concentrate" if its bottled
local? Fresh key limes have enough punch they don't need to be concentrated
to use.
This bottle does smell a little sharper and heavier than the other key
limes I have had, so maybe it really is persian limes.
Can't say that I have ever had a persian lime that I knew of so I could
say it for sure.

thanx for the tip
