About this deal

This had body to it,” said Manchester. “It had an extra layer of flavour, some depth to it, which gives a really nice balance.”

According to some historians, lemon liqueur was first made behind the walls of convents and monasteries, where excellent-quality beer and wine was already a mainstay, and where strong alcoholic elixirs were commonly concocted in monastic infirmaries for medicinal purposes. In fact, limoncello may have derived from a group of liqueurs called rosoli, sweet alcoholic drinks comprised of fruits, spices, herbs, and medicinal plants. From lemon to limoncello, approximately eighty days elapse. It’s a relatively simple process but each producer boasts his or her own limoncello secrets. For example, some use only the rinds, while others marinate the pulp and seeds. People experiment with different ratios of sugar to water in the syrup. The location where the limoncello steeps, with varying temperature and relative humidity, can also play a role. Ultimately, these factors affect the flavor as well as the opacity and texture of the final product. One batch of the final product may be bright, neon yellow; another may be more cloudy and opaque as a result of the emulsification of the sugar and lemon oils. Well for this year at least, let the Amalfi Coast come to you. With our range of limoncello’s and gin from Staibano, still and sparkling wines, from personally selected vineyards, and selections of pasta’s and cooking sauces, it won’t take too long to re-create the Dolce Vita in your own home.

Review and Tasting

This historic liquorificio was one of the first to commercialize limoncello and other local alcoholic beverages known as rosoli. The Mansi family invented the Limunciel brand. You can watch the phases of production and sample their limoncelli in their factory. Next, the peels are soaked in pure, high-quality alcohol that remains unaltered in the freezer. Different producers use different neutral spirits derived from grain, grapes, sugar beets or sugar cane—even wine or vodka. These spirits have as high as ninety-five percent alcohol content and are ideal as a solvent to extract the oils—and therefore the flavor—from the lemon rinds. For at least forty days, the lemon rinds marinate in the alcohol in a dark place. The longer they steep, the richer the color and the more intensely lemony the taste. In the Own Label heat, a Gold was awarded to Aldi’s “complex” Gingerbread Gin Liqueur, which was “not too sweet, a bit zesty”. A Silver was also given to Aldi’s Bellucci Amaretto Liqueur.

In. Because I can decide exactly what to eat and what time to eat, which is usually at 16.00. Plus, there’s no stress of keeping to a reservation.All of us love a romantic story behind our drink and Staibano delivers this in abundance. This liqueur model was based by the great-grandson of considered one of Amalfi’s foremost limoncello distillers, and you may perceive why this recipe has stood the take a look at of time. It’s made utilizing the native lemons and delicately balances bitter, candy and sorbet notes. Learn our full overview of Staibano limoncello. We too at Campania Wines were looking forward to a few weeks on the Amalfi Coast this year, sipping an after dinner limoncello, and taking in the breath taking views of Positano and Ravello. Alas, our plans were scuppered.

Don Vincenzo Staibano was born on the Amalfi Coast, a stunning and vibrant stretch of coastline south of Naples, Italy, where he spent his entire life. Surrounded by such outstanding natural beauty and unique architecture, Don Staibano unsurprisingly delighted in the dolce vita of the Amalfi Coast and its unrivalled food and agricultural produce. Much of his life was devoted to tending his lemon groves which, typical of the Amalfi region, produced abundant lemons of the most incredible colour, size, taste and fragrance. Meanwhile, my panel was sipping its way through a selection of Fruit liqueurs, which also presented two Master medallists. Maennerhobby’s lemon-­flavoured Zitronenlikör blew the judges away with its “zingy palate” and “sourness”. Giffard’s Rhubarb Liqueur was also deemed Master-worthy for its likeness to “rhubarb­-and-custard sweets” and “full mouthfeel”. Seven Golds and four Silvers were also uncovered in this flight. My panel then moved on to one of the hottest flavour trends in the spirits industry – Coffee. Three Golds were awarded, the first to Dark Matter Spiced Mocha Liqueur with its aromas of “digestive biscuits and white chocolate” and “spiced aftertaste” on the palate. Another Gold-­standard expression was found in Lignell & Piispanen’s Crafted 58 Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, praised for its “dark chocolate” depth and “real coffee” flavour. The third was given to Fair Café Liqueur, made by Ethical Wine & Spirits, in which judges found hints of “freshly ground coffee” and “citrus”. Two Silvers were also enjoyed.

Lindsay’s judges satiated their sweet tooth with the next flight: Chocolate. Four Golds were uncovered: “boozy chocolate cake” BouveryCV; “lovely” Mozart Chocolate Cream; “coffee, cacao nib” Mozart Dark Chocolate; and “custard and cinnamon” Mozart Pumpkin Spice. In addition to limoncello, the shop also sells honey, marmalade, pastries, and natural cosmetics made with lemons. The shop is impossible to miss with lemon products literally spilling out onto the cobblestones alongside the staircase leading to Amalfi’s cathedral façade. The famous tart-sweet liqueur known as limoncello requires only four ingredients: lemon peels, grain alcohol, sugar, and water. However, like many of Italy’s most important culinary traditions, the simplicity of the recipe can be deceiving.
