Did you know that the famous Limoncello of the Sorrento region in the South of Italy is NOT made of lemon juice ?

No, Limoncello is made of lemon peels. And not just any lemon peels: The real Sorrento Limoncello is made of the real Sorrento lemons with their typical thick peel. Very different from what you usually get at the supermarket.

Tradition has it that in the early twentieth century, the great families of Sorrento used to offer their distinguished guests a taste of Limoncello, the yellow liqueur produced at home using the finest lemons from the family lemon grove.

You can find a variety of Limoncellos on byitaly.
