The History of the Original Recipe of Limoncello

In 2011 I participated in a two week trip to Italy, one of my favorite places is Sorrento, a small town in southern Italy, Campania with about 16,500 inhabitants. It is located at the southeast end of the Circumvesuviana railway and is therefore a popular tourist destination that is easily accessible from Naples and Pompeii. Overlooking the Gulf of Naples, it is the main sight of the Sorrento Peninsula, and there are many tourist attractions in Naples itself, Mount Vesuvius and Capri Island. There are several agricultural products such as citrus fruits, wine, nuts and olives in Sorrento.

Lemon wine alcohol, lemon peel, wine made from sugar. Limoncello can be regarded as a "moonlight" type product (although it is usually made from alcohol that is legally obtained). Because lemon trees adapt to the climate of the Mediterranean and produce fruit in large quantities during the long-term result season, lemon trees in many villa gardens are bent under the weight of their crops It is not uncommon to find. You can make a lot of lemonade and better is to make your own lemonade. It is considered mainly as dessert liqueur and is served after a heavy meal (similar to amaretto) and is used for various celebrations. The taste can be compared with a very strong slightly thick lemonade with alcohol tone. It is best to refrigerate in a small fridge in the refrigerator

In Italy, Limoncello is traditionally made of Sorento lemon peel, but in reality, any old lemon can be made. What makes Chrissy 's limoncello more special is that she uses Meyer Lemon. However, there is a price for this taste. Because Mayer's lemon peel skin is thinner than traditional skin, you must be very cautious. Please do not include Pis (white part of skin).

You might think that Meyer Lemmon is the best choice for this recipe because it is juicy and sweet. I found that Meyer Lemon is very suitable for this recipe. My first batch was made with Meyer lemon. The cake is really good, but I guess it has a stronger and sour lemon flavor. Even so, please choose another kind of lemon for this recipe. Most of the lemons sold at stores are not Merlemont. More possibilities are Eureka called Lemon and Lisbon. The difference is that the stem of Eureka lemon has a short neck, whereas the edge of the flower of Lisbons tapers to a pointed sharp nipple. In this article I will describe various kinds of lemon and lime. Do not forget to check the lemon when you are in the next shop, make sure you can tell what type it is.
