A superfood recipe
THE LIMONCELLO
Ingredients
½ l. alcohol 95°
The peel of 4 big organic
lemons
500 gr. sugar
½ l. water
Preparation
1- Peel the skin of the lemons and keep only the yellow part; pay
attention that there are no traces of white peel because it would make
the limoncello bitter.
2- Place the peel in a jar with alcohol and leave to brew, in the dark for a
week.
3- Prepare a syrup with water and sugar and cook for a few minutes on the
fire.
4- When the syrup is cold add it to the alcohol - previously filtered
with a strainer –
and fill a 1 litre bottle.
5- Let the liqueur rest for 2-3 weeks before drinking.
INTERESTING FACT
The history of limoncello bends through a series of anecdotes and
legends. Its paternity is competed by Sorrentini, Amalfitani and Capresi. In
Capri, someone says that its origins are linked to the events of the family of
the businessman Massimo Canale who,in 1988, registered the first
trademark “Limoncello”.
The liqueur was born at the beginning of 1900, in a
small boarding house of the island Azzurra, where the
lady Maria Antonia Farace took care of a luxuriant garden
of lemons and oranges.
In 1988, her grandson Massimo Canale started a small handmade
handmade production of limoncello, registering the
trademark.
Someone believes that limoncello had been used in the morning by
fishermen and countrymen to face the cold, since the invasion periods.
Others, instead, believe that the recipe was invented inside a monastic
convent to delight the monks from prayer to prayer.
Maybe, we’ll never know the truth, except for the fact that this traditional
yellow liquor is appreciated all over the world.
Limoncello is an excellent digestive if served cold. Someone prefers even
stirred in tonic water or champagne. Lately, it is in vogue its use over ice-
creams and fruit salad.
In Campania, the limoncello closes the lunch or dinner: it has become a
social ritual nearly in the same way as having a cup of coffee.
