A Italian traditional liqueur. Limoncello.

*Limoncello* is a liqueur made from lemons which, in Italy, has a long tradition. In many regions, where lemon is grown, this liqueur is produced both by hand and on an industrial scale. The recipe for limoncello is very simple and of course, and the basic ingredients are water, sugar, pure alcohol and of course lemon peel. Of course the secret of a good limoncello is in the skilful balance of ingredients and processing methods and times.

One of the most famous limoncello producing houses is Pallini and these that I show you are its elegant bottles where an inscription explains that it is the Original Lemon Liqueur created according to an ancient familiar recipe with Amalfi lemons since 1875.

But in this exhibition of yellow bottles I was struck by the motorcycle, obviously yellow, used to promote this liqueur. Another important brand is Villa Massa, which has been producing limoncello since 1890 and always comes from the region of Campania, the region of the sun.
