LIMONE IGP COSTA d'AMALFI
The Amalfi Coast PGI Lemon
The most genuine "testimonial" of the Amalfi Coast is the sfusato lemon. Under a thick light yellow skin, beats a tender flesh. A sweet and juicy soul in a land waiting to be peeled.
The intense and sparkling scent evokes the emotions, enchantment, and colors of its lands. An excellent fruit, appreciated even abroad. The "sfusato" lemon is the most well-known inhabitant of the Amalfi Coast.
A "citrus of the world," a certified ambassador of a land considered, for art and history, a UNESCO heritage. A fruit with a positive character, as sunny as its people. The sfusato lemon: the most original and suggestive postcard of the Amalfi Coast.
Distinguishing features: intense aroma; tapered shape; juicy flesh; almost absent seeds. Rich in vitamin C and essential oils. Delicious as is, ideal in the preparation of fresh recipes.
