A little taste of history

Our Liquors are produced in a factory in Campania Regions in southern Italy near Salerno with 80 years of experience in producing Limoncello and Lemon Liquor products. The factory stands in a lovely hamlet dating back to the year 1000, in the heart of the National Park Of Cilento.

Cilento is an area rich in history and art with ancient towns such as Paestum and Velia and is surrounded by the deep blue Mediterranean with such wonderful resorts as Palinuro. It is famous for its highly prized lemons growing in an ideal climate. They are exploiting this natural wealth by growing and harvesting choice lemons, following a very old, matchless tradition. All the plantations are checked by an expert agronomist to eliminate any residual fungicide.

The firm at the moment directly cultivates the most part of fruit for the production of liquor, and it's addressed to an organic production. All the cultivations are controlled by an Agronomist to guarantee the total absent of chemical products.

All the fruits are processed within two hours from the pickup to conserve all the flavours and freshness. They are peeled by hand with special knives that permit us only to use the outside part of the peel that is the richest part of essential oil. The peeling by hands permits to break all the pores of the peel, and in that way all the essential oil drops in the liquor. The peels remain in infusion in pure alcohol at 96° for one week. Later it is filtrated and it's put together with syrup obtaining the final product. To conserve all the natural characteristics the factory doesn’t add any colours and preservatives. The factory can produce 1000 bottles per hour.
