Nectar of the gods
The best digestif
If you have a lemon tree, it will tell you the best time to prepare Limoncello, namely from the end of May onwards, when the green peel starts to turn yellow.
Limoncello: Who doesn’t know it? This world-famous liqueur is the ultimate spirit of the Cilento region and the whole of Campania. Here, every hearty meal ends with a sip of cold Limoncello. Whether you prefer it as a digestif or as an aperitif, the fresh and citrusy taste of Limoncello immediately makes you think of summer. Tracing its history is now impossible: Some say it dates back to Roman times, along with the development of lemon cultivation in this area, as evidenced by the frescoes found in Pompeii. Some legends date Limoncello to the time of the Saracen invasions, well before the year 1000, while others say it’s thanks to the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula that we can enjoy this liqueur, since they were the first to cultivate lemons. Regardless of its origin, Limoncello is loved by all and there’s nothing better than enjoying a glass of it after a meal at your bungalow in Campania.
