Limoncello

The traditional lemon liqueur of Italy, originated on the terraced cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, but in modern day Italy there are many versions.

This “Limoncello” is a traditional recipe. It is from the family of my very good friend Fabio who grew up in Sant'Omero (TE), in the Abruzzo region of Italy.

Originally it was all about preserving the fruit and alcohol was added to give the liqueur effect. But over the years more alcohol was added. This version is about the lemon flavour and not about the alcohol!!  

Sip a glass or two after evening meal – Simply delectable!    Use as an icecream topping or create your own dessert flavour!  A little added to a glass of bubbly is also delicious!!

This is also available with added Vanilla bean which then becomes “Mellocello”.

Liamcello,  this is just as refreshing and tasteful as Limoncello with a bit more bite.

Very refreshing with tonic or soda water on ice or just as delicious on its own or as a dessert favouring.

Alloro

A lovely semi sweet, smooth liqueur. Delicious any time!! Especially nice on a cold winters day.  Gives a lovely warm fuzzy feeling when digesting.

In Italy this is drunk at the end of a meal, in a  small glass, similar to our dessert wine but it is absolutely devine poured over crushed ice, in a Martini glass.  The aroma and taste is amazing!!
