MIXA BILITYLimoncello is traditionally served chilled in a small flute glass as an after-dinner digestivo. Limoncello is an increasingly popular ingredient in cocktails, as it imparts a strong lemon flavour without the sourness or bitterness of lemon juice.

H IS TORYLimoncello is a traditional Italian lemon liqueur. It is said that Limoncello production dates back to the 1600’s and it was first developed in convents. Santa Marta is produced by the Francoli family distillery in Northern Italy using Sicilian lemons. Limoncello is the second-most popular liqueur in Italy. It has recently become a favourite in other parts of the world. Restaurants in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand are increasingly offering Limoncello on their beverage and dessert menus.

PRODUCTIONItaly is the world’s largest producer of lemons so, naturally, Italians have developed a delicious way to use the plentiful fruit. Lemon zest, (peels without the pith), is steeped in grain alcohol until the oil is released. The resulting yellow liquid is then mixed with a simple syrup. No artificial flavours or colours are added to Santa Marta Limoncello.
