ORGANIC LIMONCELLO OF SORRENTO - "The Original" GPI Bio

Respect for tradition is the basis of the cultivation of the lemon in the Sorrento Peninsula, a typical product, unique in Italy and in the world, which has been awarded Protected Geographical Indication I.G.P., an important guarantee of the quality of the raw material. It is an oval lemon, medium to large in size, with a particularly succulent straw-yellow flesh and a peel with a very special fragrance, due to the richness of the essential oils present. It is cultivated, under the supervision of the Consorzio del Limone di Sorrento I.G.P., from Vico Equense to Massa Lubrense in soils overlooking the sea rich in volcanic elements, according to the traditional method of pergolas and “pagliarelle.” No chemicals are used on the fruits, which, by settling on the peel would alter the taste and aromaof the derived products.Limoncello di Sorrento from Organic Farming is produced with the use of Organic raw materials (only lemons ripened in the exceptional microclimate of the west Sorrento coast) and prepared according to strict specifications approved by the Consortium for the Control of Organic Products.The safety of authenticity meets the flavor of the Mediterranean
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.
