Discovering Amalfi Cedro Lemons: A Taste of Southern Italy!

The Amalfi or Cedro lemon is a highly regarded lemon variety originating from the Southern sun-kissed coast of Italy. Renowned for its exceptional flavour profile and distinct characteristics, this lemon variety has captured the hearts of citrus enthusiasts worldwide. 

Origins in Calabria

Cultivated in the picturesque Italian region of Calabria, the Amalfi Cedro lemon thrives in the Mediterranean climate, blessed with ample sunshine and fertile soil. Calabria's unique terroir imparts an unparalleled richness to the fruit, contributing to its superior quality and flavour.

Exceptional Size and Flavour

One of the most striking features of the Amalfi Cedro lemon is its remarkable size. Significantly larger than its counterparts, this citrus gem commands attention with its impressive dimensions. However, it's not just the size that sets it apart, it's the flavour profile that truly captivates.

Fragrant Peel and Thick Pith

The peel of the Amalfi Cedro lemon is a treasure trove of aroma and flavour. Unlike traditional lemons, this variety boasts a sweeter, more fragrant peel, making it a culinary delight. What truly distinguishes it is its thick pith, which adds depth and complexity to dishes. Whether enjoyed raw or shaved into zesty risottos, the peel of the Cedro lemon elevates every culinary creation.

Versatile Culinary Applications

While the Amalfi Cedro lemon is virtually juiceless, its thick pith and fragrant zest make it a prized ingredient in the kitchen. From tantalising marmalades to indulgent candied fruits, this lemon variety lends itself to a myriad of culinary creations. Its aromatic zest infuses liqueurs with a burst of citrusy goodness, adding a refreshing twist to cocktails and desserts.
