Amalfi Lemons IGP
Choose options
Sfusato Amalfitano (Citrus limon 'Amalfitano') — the celebrated lemon of the Amalfi Coast, grown on ancient terraced groves that cling to the cliffsides above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Larger and more elongated than standard lemons, with a distinctive tapered, spindle-like shape that gives the variety its name (sfusato meaning tapered in Italian). The thick, textured rind is packed with essential oils and terpenes, producing an intensity of fragrance that ordinary lemons simply cannot match.
The flesh is notably juicy and lower in acidity than most lemon varieties, with a gentle sweetness that makes these lemons versatile enough to eat raw — sliced thickly, dressed with olive oil, salt and fresh mint, as they do along the coast itself. The rind is equally prized: its concentration of aromatic oils makes Sfusato Amalfitano the definitive lemon for limoncello, and an exceptional ingredient for zesting into pastry, dressings and sauces. Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) status guarantees that every lemon is grown within the designated Amalfi Coast municipalities, under strict production criteria that preserve the character of the fruit. A lemon with genuine culinary range — as at home in a risotto al limone or delizia al limone as it is squeezed over grilled seafood.
Please note that we cut the leaves and stalks off the lemons as they are sharp and can damage the skin and flesh of the lemons in transit.
