OrodiAmalfi Artisan Limoncello IGP Costa d'Amalfi
OrodiAmalfi Artisan Limoncello IGP Costa d'Amalfi
Since the beginning, Orodiamalfi has only used lemons belonging to the cultivar "Sfusato Amalfitano" for the production of its traditional limoncello.
The "Sfusato Amalfitano" (Amalfi's lemon) differs from the nearby Sorrento Peninsula's lemon (Ovale of Sorrento) for the different method of cultivation and for the different organoleptic properties. The Italian word "Sfusato" refers to the tapered shape of the lemon which has a medium thickness and a pale yellow peel, with the flavedo (the yellow part of the skin) rich in essential oils and terpenes. The lemon has a juicy and moderately acidic pulp with few seeds. It is a medium-large size lemon (each fruit weighs at least 100 grams) rich in ascorbic acid. The lemon trees are grown on terraces under bowers with thin nets on them to keep off frost and hail and to provide shade.
Sfusato lemons received the important European P.G.I. (protected geographical indication) designation under the name of "Limone Costa d'Amalfi" on 4 July 2001.
Only the best Amalfi Coast P.G.I. lemons are transformed in the "traditional limoncello Orodiamalfi".
Orodiamalfi limoncello is a liqueur of unique and unparalleled taste. It is produced, based on traditional local recipes, using only golden and fragrant lemons of the Amalfi Coast.
Excellent as a digestive if served very cold in chilled glasses, limoncello is pleasant to taste even at room temperature mixed with tonic water or champagne. Also great on sweets and ice cream.
No allergens or GMOs. No added colourings or flavours. Natural cloudiness can occur as the essential oils separate, showing the genuine ingredients. Gently shaking will reintegrate the oils.
Mezcal Amores have one simple philosophy: to strive always towards a balanced relationship with their ecosystem. This is why they exist. It is why they produce their mezcal following a holistic cycle “From seed to sip”. The Amores Philosophy stems from caring consciously for the earth, for the environment and for the people who make each drop of mezcal possible.
Mezcal Amores believe firmly in a better world, and they pursue this vision by empowering their teams and embracing local communities, by supporting local agave farmers (agaveros) and Master Distillers (Maestros Mezcaleros), because they understand that these are the guardians of their Mezcals. To preserve the past, Mezcal Amores look to the future, advancing a sustainable business model today, with their eyes on their impact tomorrow.
True to their philosophy, Mezcal Amores allocate as much as 20% of each bottle's net sale to the development of internal initiatives promoting social and environmental responsibility. These initiatives range from purchasing artisanal mezcal at a fair price, to providing state-of-the-art training for local distillers, from rescuing and protecting wild agave species, to sowing new seed using only organic practices.
Mezcal Amores' vision focuses on evolving, growing and adapting through the promotion of an artisanal mezcal supply chain, as well as on supporting an environmental model aimed at minimal impact and committed to continual innovation.
