What is Roman Lime liqueur?

Unique liqueur rich in taste, made with Roman sweet limes according to an ancient Roman recipe.

The sweet taste of Citrus is combined with delicate aromatic notes that bind well at the end of a meal and with desserts.

History of Limetta Romana liqueur

Brought to Italy from Greece in the XNUMXth century BC,

the Limetta Dolce Romana soon spread throughout the peninsula, finding its perfect habitat in the local climate.

The Roman Limetta was soon inserted as an ornamental plant in the splendid gardens of the Augustan age, so much so that the Roman scholar Cloatius Verus was the first to describe its plant, flowers and prodigious fruits.

Also taken up by Virgil, Pliny, Petronius and Apicius in many of their works, the great beauty of the plant is enhanced by the uninterrupted production of flowers, from spring to autumn, followed by a phase in which the precious fruits remain hanging on the branches.

the fruit

The characteristic shape of the fruit immediately catches the eye with both poles flattened and on the opposite side of the petiole, the ambo, an outgrowth that recalls the shape of a nipple (hence the French name of the citrus fruit "mamelon", which means "nipple")

It is a highly appreciated product, as well as for the absence of seeds, for the aromatic juice, with a slightly acrid taste, which the wisdom of the Romans was able to use in the creation of a unique, golden, sweet and very fragrant elixir, which conquered immediately the palates of the Roman aristocracy and plebs, experiencing a rampant diffusion.

Taken at the end of a meal, it is a sweet drinkable liqueur whose aromatic note sources spread on the palate giving a sensation of surprising ancient freshness, fruit of the goodness of the earth's products treated according to tradition

Ingredients:

Hydroalcoholic infusion of prunus spinosa fruits and sugar
