LIMONCELLO OF SORRENTO - "The Original" GPI

In the Sorrento Peninsula, the production of lemon liqueur dates back to ancient times and is still conducted with a processing system that preserves the artisanal and traditional methods of the area, handed down to the present day. PIEMME, since 1986, has been the undisputed leader in the production of Limoncello, which can rightly be considered the Gold of Sorrento.
The harvesting of Sorrento lemons is carried out strictly by hand, to prevent the fruit from being damaged, and precedes a series of processes, suitable for the production of Limoncello, which PIEMME carries out in-house.
In fact, the infusion phase in pure alcohol and beet sugar (without any additives, syrups or sweeteners), the extraction of the peels from the containers (in which the precious infusion remains) and the bottling are carried out in about 4-7 days in PIEMME's in-house laboratory, a true bastion of artisanal processing but characterized by technological innovation and strict quality controls.

This product is available in size: 50cl, 70cl, 100cl
PIEMME is a modern company, a leader in the food and liquor sector, which produces Limoncello, Babà and its specialties in keeping with tradition. PIEMME was founded in 1969 by Sorrentine artisans dedicated to the production of lemon-based confectionery specialties and the more traditional Limoncello. Based on this historic recipe, handed down from family to family, and thanks to innovative technological know-how, since 1986 the typical Sorrento lemon peel infusion, together with baba, has become PIEMME's product and pride. The passion for territorial traditions and the care for the genuineness of its ingredients pushes PIEMME to follow all stages of the production chain, from the cultivation, harvesting and peeling of the lemon to the infusion and bottling, which take place in the in-house laboratory: the process, artisanal but technologically innovative, is followed by the Quality Control Manager, for the selection of excellent products. Equal care is given to the production of confectionery specialties, PIEMME being among the few companies that can boast an in-house pastry laboratory.
