Product Information

The famous tart-sweet liqueur known as limoncello requires only four ingredients: lemon peels, grain alcohol, sugar, and water. However, like many of Italy’s most important culinary traditions, the simplicity of the recipe can be deceiving. This liquorificio situated in the picturesque village of Ravello produces homemade limoncello using the sfusato amalfitano lemons. They also make a variety of digestivi made with fennel, coffee, melons, strawberries, and other novel ingredients. From lemon to limoncello, approximately eighty days elapse. It’s a relatively simple process but each producer boasts his or her own limoncello secrets. For example, some use only the rinds, while others marinate the pulp and seeds. People experiment with different ratios of sugar to water in the syrup. The location where the limoncello steeps, with varying temperature and relative humidity, can also play a role. Ultimately, these factors affect the flavor as well as the opacity and texture of the final product. One batch of the final product may be bright, neon yellow; another may be more cloudy and opaque as a result of the emulsification of the sugar and lemon oils. If you engage in the labor of love that is hand crafting limoncello—and you’re giving some away as a gift—you should probably go the extra mile and make it look incredible. The best way to do that is to put it in bottles that properly display the liqueur, and even enhance the beauty of it. I’ve been making and gifting limoncello for over a decade, so I have some advice for you on how you can make your limoncello look amazing. Where Can I Buy Limoncello Bottles?

Italian Lemon Desserts Tiramisu has two main components: the soaked ladyfingers and the mascarpone cheese filling.

Worst-case scenario, though, is that you can always make it at home! How Much Does Limoncello Cost? The most classic way to drink it is on its own, in a shot glass. Even though it's served in a shot glass, limoncello is meant to be sipped. There's no need to add ice to it if you've kept it in the freezer. Limoncello bottles come in various shapes; there isn’t one standard appearance for a bottle of limoncello. The glass is typically either clear or frosted so that you can see the attractive yellow color of the liqueur. However, there are a few important considerations when choosing bottles for showcasing your home-made limoncello.

Once the 30 days are over, prepare the simple syrup. Place the water in a pot and heat it over low heat. Once the water is slightly warm, add in the sugar, stir and let it dissolve completely.
