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. |
