How Limoncello Is Made Using Huge Amalfi Coast Lemons | Regional Eats

- Limoncello is one of the most popular Italian liqueurs. The yellow drink is made in southern Italy, in sunny Sicily, the Gulf of Naples, and the Amalfi Coast - mostly because these areas offer the perfect soil and weather conditions to grow lemons.
We visited Villa Divina, a villa on the Amalfi Coast in the city of Vietri with 600 lemon trees. Villa Divina supplies lemons to Pallini, a company established in 1875 in a small village near Rome that specializes in Italian liqueurs such as Sambuca and Mistrà. Pallini Limoncello production started in the '90s, and today Pallini makes almost 1 million liters of the lemon liqueur per year. The type of lemon used for making Pallini Limoncello is the Sfusato Amalfitano, also known as Amalfi lemon.

How Limoncello Is Made Using Huge Amalfi Coast Lemons | Regional Eats
I’d love to take a walk through the lemon trees. I can imagine the smell too. 🍋
i'd recommend it
@@blackgriffinxx how is it gay...? Just askin
o my! i bet it smells like apples :D
@@soyooin I lack the words to say how it is GaY . I wish i could send you one to taste .
eating it is like people finding out Prince in not gay
@@blackgriffinxx I take it English is not a first language? Just for context, "Gay" and "queer" mean homosexual in our language, but gay used to mean "happy". Reading your comment with that in mind, I cannot agree more! It's quite the experience walking through an orchard of them.
Something everybody should know about lemon trees is that bumblebees fricking love lemon flowers so if you have one tiny tree you'll have hundreds of drunk sleeping bumblebees on the ground around it at any time. It's hilarious they roll around because they're too heavy to take off. I had a meyer lemon tree in Ottawa and it brought all the bees to the yard.
@Brains00007 If you put a tent over them in the winter or put them in the garage, mine was only about a meter high and in a planter so I could move it into the garage and when it got too big for that I just made it a makeshift roof and tarp to keep heat in. Otherwise it probably would have died, I don't think it could handle the snow given it got up to two feet deep in some parts of my yard.
* coughs * mY LEMON TREE BRINGS ALL THE BEES TO THE YARD
I live in the Mediterranean. I have huge lemons in my backyard. No bees tho. Just a ton of ants and they have quite a bite on them
jaime delgado she said lemon flowers
@@ii_badwolf7618 u do know flowers turn into fruit. Lemons including. No bumblebees hovering the lemons flowers on my lemon trees. Plenty of ants tho
Everyone: *W H E N L I F E G I V E S Y O U L E M O N S*
Eat it lol
*squeeze it*
make Limoncello! grazie
When life gives you lemons you start your own liqueur business ! (:
Ba ba baaa ba ba bum.
The smell in those lemon orchards must be HEAVENLY! 😍
I have 2 small Amalfi lemon trees and when they’re in full bloom mode they smell like heaven
I've drunk slushies made using those lemons while on a school trip to Italy. They were delicious.
Me too
It was good
that sounds amazing
Granite
Yum
*Every college student*
When life gives you lemons, try to find a way to get drunk off it
True
Your pfp 😂😂 Fr tho
Nice profile pic.👍🏻
epic
Brazilians:When life gives you lemons,make caipirinha.
when she ate that lemon slice with the rind i was like 😮
Same. I looked away for a moment
The rind on these lemons isn't as bland and parched compared to the rind of a typical citrus fruit. You can candy typical citrus rinds and they actually become quite tasty.
I wanted her face go sour like an anime figure .. But it didn't happen XDD.
Heyo, i am from amalfy coast! The rind of those kind of lemons it's actually kinda sweet and just a little bit bitter, so people use to eat a slice of the lemon with the rind so that offsets the acidity from the core! If you ever have the chance you should try it :D
Tan-gee hehe.
I could go back to the Gulf of Naples and never leave. I loved being there, especially the smells when walking by lemon trees or wild rosemary. The whole area is incredibly beautiful.
I went to Italy in 6th grade. We even stayed on the Amalfi Coast! I can guarantee that it’s even better than the pictures. I loved it there.
🍋 *_If she's able to take a bite, I bet a dried Limoncello would taste legit!_* ❤️❤️❤️
How tf you gonna dry a liquid?
Rocco with no chaser or mixed

@@roccop3760 Lol, what?... Same way you dry anything else, by removing the water.

Nearly lost it when Claudia said “tangy”, so cute ☺️
Sajjan Virdee what time did she say “tangy”?
4:25
Claudia is my wife’s name lol, but my boss sells some of this lemons on her website at times when in seasons.
Thanks
How is that cute
Italy is so rich in culture & topography. I wanna live there one day for at least a year and slow travel 😍
*Italy is so full of beautiful people, wonderful food and incredible places you can't Imagine. So proud*
Don't forget the corrupt politicians ,and the mafia

@@tonyofarrell2775 i know, they have distroyed our entire nation which is clearly on the Path of destruction. I am a victim of this rigged system every day and trust me. Its very hard because they Rob you of your future
The diaspora of Italians all over the world. My nonno came to Venezuela from Sicily.
@@dieguismama2330 woah! Thats fascinating. My grandparents emigrated from Puglia to Genova. My best friend is actually from Carlentini, Sicily. Have you ever visited Italy?
I’ve been to this beautiful part of Italy and I went to go and visit Amalfi, and on every street and corner were fresh lemons and oranges outside shops. They weren’t like the ones you get in the supermarket back home. These things were huge, and my God they smelled good. There are many places that are supposed to be the ‘go to’ places, and they’re never as good as they are made out to be, but this corner of Italy really needs to be seen to understand and appreciate its beauty. Would go back in a heartbeat.
We have a special lemon kind in Turkey growing in southern coast. It's name is enterdonat lemon and if they mature to January - February they became very delicious and almost sweet. We chop them with their peel and rub them with salt, olive oil and sumac,. Along with rubbed onions they pair well with grilled fish and kind of meats.
These videos are so important, this is how you get plp to care what they buy to drink and eat.
Factz!!
I am italian and i feel so lucky to live in this country because i think italy is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world, best food, supercars and super bikes, fashion, top quality products exported in the whole world in different sectors, opera music, gorgeous landscapes from the alps of the north to the mediterranean sea of the south and marvelous historical cities with most UNESCO heritage sites in the world (Rome, Florence, Venice ecc) 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹💓💓💓 i don’t care what the other italians say they just want to put in a bad light this country instead of loving it and understand the great country we have. Great video btw!👍🏼
These lemons from Italy look so different and special with other lemons. I really want to taste it.
Buy a bottle and you’ll get a pretty decent idea. Caio!
They're incredible. The granitas, everything with them is out of this world.
I miss living in Italy, the food, the people, fantastic moments with funny people, my first kiss, the sun, and again the food. 😔
Italy is another blessed country with a amazing culture
Limoncello is like the best thing ever, so good.
It's ok. They talk about tartness in the video, but limoncello has no tartness because it's just the lemon oils from the zest combined with alcohol and sugar. I feel that the tartness of a lemon is what makes it special and thus limoncello can only ever be so-so to me.
I saw the exact type of big, uneven lemons while staying in Crete's, Greece and Cannes, France during April. Both guest house has small yards with a few lemon trees, I was allow to collect as many as I wish on the ground, I made lemon & honey tea in my room and took a few to my next destination in Santorini to share it with new friends.

GIFT ZOOK Damn that’s crazy bro, but I don’t remember asking
Could you imagine how good that lemon grove smells. God, do I miss Italy 🇮🇹. I need to visit my cousins again.
We love Pallini Limoncello. Our local supermarket sells it, and sells out of it quickly. We fell in love with limoncello after many, many holidays in Itallia. Also, back in the 80's I used to build bottling machinery. Still regard it as one of the best and most enjoyable jobs I ever had as an engineer.
Nothing better than natural fruit and vegetables. No pesticides, no GMO's, no garbage in the purity of this paradise's produce
I want a big lemon.
Italy : Okay
Now im feeling like buying a bottle
I was in italy this summer and the taste off limoncello is great in my opinion but it has a very strong and bitter taste its like a fruity vodka
I bought a bottle to make a cake. It was a great cake! But I was hesitant because it was $20 bucks and I very seldom drink. Well, I read that you can put it in the FREEZER and it will keep for years without freezing because of the alcohol content. I just went into the freezer to check on it. Super cold but not frozen. I think I will make a couple of cakes for the holiday potluck.
@@cificare2184 that's how Italians drink it, from the freezer 🤤
Me too !!!
@@lukasandersen8478 the bitter taste is a sign of a cheap and poor quality product. I'd like everyone has the opportunity to taste a home made product. Mine isn't so yellow and bitter for example, like this brand
A shot of cold limoncello and orangecello hits the spot on those hot summer nights.
4:08 that's confidence right there!!
Loved Italy and the Amalfi coast was gorgeous. Stayed in Massa Lubrense and it was gorgeous. The lemon groves were all over, the lemons huge, and yep, drank a lot of limoncello.
I'm so happy for you that you got to enjoy Italy - seems like a great country for, at least, food and agritourism
My mom's mom gave me a lemon like this that was all wrinkly and huge. I am ashamed to say I stayed away from it thinking it was some mutated fuckery
ironic how the more uniform a fruit the mutated it probably is :P
@@DGGclips Yes- reminds of heirloom tomatoes . They look damaged etc...but they are delicious and nearly a delicacy
@Susan Ananda how come?
Im gonna guess that eating lemons gives you diarrhea and dries you out or some shit.
Well it is possible to overdose on vitamins such as C, so I imagine there is an amount of lemon that can give you cramps
Lemons have something in them that put me in a better mood for some reason, and many people say the same. I drink lemon water every day, 2 lemons a day, and as soon as I drink my first one i feel less anxious and its harder to feel sad. Live by the lemon!
Forget about lemon she is gorgeous 😍
My goodness , I just love fresh lemon .I would be in absolute heaven walking around that villa - the smell alone must be phenomenal !
These lemons used to grow wild in Florida. As a kid we would find these lemons--we called them Horse Lemons--on trees in the wilderness through which we trekked. We collected them, and took them home where we ate them by dipping the wedge's bitten end into a bit of salt. They were delicious that way. Sadly, I haven't seen a Horse lemon in decades.
I hope you can see one again
Those aren't the same as these lemons, ponderosa lemons is what you had and if you visit an upscale nursery, they might have one over the winter through spring.
I need to take a bite out of one of these lemons before I die. The way she described them was so appealing.
As Nature was so generous to gift Amalfi with sweet lemons then enjoy the Dolce Vita... 😀😎😘
UMMM Does anyone wanna own a lemon farm with me????
Me
nope
Mee
Translation: Does anyone with good credit want to cosign on my lemon farm loan?
I was thinking about the same thing! 😉
Amalfi is most beautiful place on earth. After you've been there, there is nothing else to see in the world.
Absolutely charming. Such a breath of fresh air on what's been a grey day. Thanks for your peaceful narration and delightful creations!
I could sip this all day...addictive stuff
I had one of those types of lemon trees at my home in Florida they are the sweetest lemons I have ever had and grow as big as grapefruit. Fantastic in tea and for lemonade.
got to stay for a while in Capri with a wonderful Caprese family and the limoncello that they made was something akin to the nectar of the gods and very potent. fantastic stuff. Mille grazie.
That’s awesome that families have their own recipe for the drink.
Aneesa H. I thought so, too!
The recipe is quite outrageously simple: lemon zest, sugar alchool. That's why what it changes from a family to another its their lemons scent, how sweet you want it adding more or lesser sugar, and how strong you desire the flavor by pouring lemon zest more or lesser days in alchool. Enjoy your preferred limoncello brand. 😀😎😘
If I could grow those in North Carolina I would be somebody.
You can.
@@SuperHunKing not legally
@@danielgorzelniak3209 I have a tree looks just like that same lemons....
You can do it just acquire those lemon seeds
@@danielgorzelniak3209 what? You canno't legally write Amalfi limoncello but you can grow the plant wherever you want...
And I am imagining the sweets I could do with those lemons! They look so good!
I love lemon flavor in (almost) everything...! 🍋❤🍋
In Italy one of the way we like to finish a lunch or a dinner with friends or relatives (not a daily one, but maybe at the restaurant) is with limoncello
Wow....this lemon looks amazing!
Never in my life have I seen such giant lemons. I enjoy lemonade daily with fresh lemons.. I would love to have a few of those lemons just to make lemonade..
I love this channel so much, thanks for your amazing videos ❤️
Those lemon trees are gorgeous. But everything on the Amalfi Coast is gorgeous
My cousin got married in Villa Divina!!! Beautiful place, as all our costiera amalfitana.
Wonderful beverage. Some producers make it too sweet but many locals in Italy make their own and therefore they can adjust the sweetness.
I went to Amalfi and this video is so nostalgic
Loving this Regional Eats series!
Wow, these are really beautiful lemons.
Treasure of Italy: Amalfi lemons. Treasure of California: Meyer lemons. Each is a true gift from the gods.
Japan: Ehime lemon
@Mike Smith
Jealous?
You want to live there but cannot afford it?
And for France it is the Menton lemon
They are some of the most renowned, I live near where they are cultivated and they are so damn good, you should try it if you can
@@exeuropean LMAO!!!! No its just a shit hole. Coming from someone who lives in cali
@Mike Smith Yeah it gave us Ronald Reagan and the modern Republican party. What a shithole.
I had limoncello once at a restaurant. Very strong. It's definitely meant to sip on. When I got home I was so tipsy just from one that I went straight to bed. 🤪
Yep. It sneaks up on you like the Pangalatic Gargle Blaster. If you have three you're done for. But it's oh so sweet.
We make our own...and ALWAYS try to warn friends...this is not for shots, its for sipping. They never listen..lol
I love learning this stuff and Claudia is awesome!!!
I love citrus, have a grapefruit for breakfast a few times a week. But these lemons sound amazing! I would love to try them someday.
Just don't eat grapefruit if you are taking medication. Bad reaction
Fun fact: Pallini is a finnish word meaning ”my testicles”
funny thing is that "pallini" means "little dots"
I'm Italian , it means little balls
nice
@@marian2946 lmao so Finnish people have "Little Balls" 😂😂😂
@@jorgevencespizzakiller933 well, it's pretty cold up there in the North
I really wanted to know about the color so a little disappointed that wasn’t talked about. So delicious omg
that is the normal color you get when making limoncello ..... try it

The color is natural and come from lemon peels. When I make it at home, I don't add nothing just alcohol, lemon peel, sugar and a couple of leaves (not lemon leaves). In a few day it turned yellow naturally.
My favorite cocktail, Limoncello. 💛💛💛
Those lemons are beautiful!
I eat lemons and this right now is golden. I want one
I bet that tastes good 😋 I love lemon flavor
Well now I want some. When life gives you beautiful Italian lemons, you....start speaking in a lovely Italian lilt! Bellisimo!
I love these videos. Great job y’all!
Thank you. We love Limoncello, knowing how specific and special it is to produce it makes it even delicious!!!
Interesting ---great video...👍
My son would eat lemons when he was little, he'd love these. Wonderful
Limoncello is delicious beyond all belief.
Informative
Thanks
💗
Great job guys, I am so impressed by Pallini wonderful works to preserve such a beautiful Italian family tradition.
I hope one day able to visit your company and enjoy drinking This Lemoncello.
Matty from Australia
I can’t imagine how delicious the lemon pie that’s made from these lemon will taste like.
I eat "regular" lemons with the peels still on; those magnificent things
I want to experience for myself! Guess I need to book a trip to
Amalfi . . .
I love Claudia’s accent....
I love that sound.
It sounds like a completely successful endeavor. 7:42
That was an AMAZING video of how to make amazing liquor.
yum i made a glaze for my cookies with this Limoncello . it came out awesome
OMG!!!! That sounds so delicious!!!
I'm Sicilian, we make our own limoncello but when I watched this I felt like Pavlov's dogs I started to drool at the sight of the lemons!😂 I grew up eating lemons ...I love them!
Those Lemons look so beautiful. Such a beautiful culture.
Its totally amazing...i love lemons
Non alcoholic Limoncello would be aaaaah great ✨💛
Litterally after watching this video I went and bought a bottle. My new obsession. It taste is like a lemon head but without the sour. It’s sweet lemon and hard liquor. Amazing.
Try making your own...Very easy, and extremely rewarding. Lemons of choice, take ONLY the peel (no pith). Steep in grain alcohol in a cool dark place for no less than 3 months. Clasp top 2L jars work best. After, strain out the pith, mix 1:1 with homemade simple syrup. The key to the whole process...when you make the syrup, allow it to come to room temperature on its own. Mix the alcohol and simple syrup together. The recipe I was given by an old italian woman was 1kilo sugar:1 liter of water. I found this to be too sweet, I use 400g sugar:1 liter water. You'll know you did it right if the solution does not separate soon after. We drink as desert, but it is also fantastic to use in baking, lemon curd etc...We often gift small 300ml bottle around the holidays.
I've been to amalfi coast the place is amazing, and this lemons are perfect. the peel is sweet you can eat it like an apple.
I could see myself drinking this chilled on ice on a hot summer day relaxing by a pool or even better by a beach.
I heard a guy at a bar saying:
"Un bicchiere di limoncello"
al mio amico più bello"
It means a glass of limoncello
At the most beautiful of my friend
*to my most beautiful friend
I love Limoncello. So refreshing!
Amalfi coast is paradise❤
Loved this!!
Wow! The peel (pith?) is so thick. That’s crazy.
I want to go to there.
Get ready for all the *when life gives you lemons* jokes
Another lovely vlog 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
I’ve been to Sicily before. Those lemons are very potent and their aroma is very strong
7:18 "The production facility in Rome bottle 9000 litres every half hour" - What an unusual thing to say... I would have expected "18000 litres per hour"
Italians don’t work more than a half an hour at a time. :)
@davide enniente gli italiani lavorano mezz'ora al giorno, in compenso non siamo tutti obesi. #sentenza
@@ericmoore3174 the average Italian works more than the average German. I have no idea where this misconception might originate from, but trust me, it's totally wrong. And I have worked abroad...
