Our nonno (“grandfather”) Francesco Fiorito was born and raised on the island of Sicily, in the beautiful Taormina at the foot of Mt. Etna. It is here that he met our grandmother and migrated with her to The Netherlands. The Italian part of our family lives in Taormina, a place well-worth visiting.

Certain agricultural products are protected in the EU as they are of exceptional quality. IGP means Indicazione Geografica Protetta, or PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) in English. The lemons are from the protected geographical area of Siracusa. We are very proud that our lemons are protected by this legislation. Other well-known high quality products carrying this indication are Champagne, Parma Ham and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Yes-absolutely. To be honest, we believe that all limoncello should be made exclusively with organic lemons. The skin of lemons is used to make limoncello. Non-organic lemons are waxed and sprayed with pesticides. So, it would be fair to say that if we did use regular lemons, we would be poisoning you!

Limoncello Superiore is an international hallmark developed by producers of limoncello. Limoncello bottles with the hallmark Limoncello Superiore contain a premium limoncello with a guaranteed quality.

Limoncello Superiore is made with:

• 100% natural lemons
• More than 300 grams of lemons per liter
• Solely manually peeled lemons
• Less than 250 grams of sugar per liter
• And an alcohol percentage between 30-32%

Yes, our lemons are still peeled by hand, as only then can we continue to preserve that exclusive mild taste of our limoncello.

After the lemons are peeled, the lemons are collected by a juice company in order to make lemon juice. This way nothing is wasted. We feel this is the least we can do for a better global environment.

Never in our wildest dreams did we believe we would set-up our own limoncello business as we have today. Making limoncello was our passion and our hobby and we were making it in our own kitchens. We found this bottle was easy to close and could be used over and over again. Now it stands for our craftsmanship and symbolises our humble beginnings.

Ahh…let me think… uhmm…no.

We use 96% grain alcohol.
