As opposed to counterfeit.

I find myself wondering why was it felt necessary to state that the lemons used were real. As far as I'm aware something is either a lemon or it is not a lemon. There is no middle ground, nothing at which one could point and say 'this may at first appear to be a lemon, but upon closer examination it is in fact not a real lemon but an inferior product with a much lower production cost and correspondingly lower build and component quality'. Lemons aren't produced in Chinese factories where the owner sells the blueprints to someone who then sets up their own factory producing counterfeit lemons. Lemons aren't like iPods of Levi's jeans. They're not a manufactured product, they grow on trees. As such I fail to see how they can be anything other than real.
