Amalfi Lemon Farm
Perhaps one of our greatest highlights in Amalfi was a tour of a local lemon farm followed by a delicious lunch overlooking their terraced groves of trees.
Amalfi lemons, known as Sfumato Amalfitano, have a rich history rooted in the Amalfi Coast's unique climate and the ingenuity of its people. Introduced by the Arabs, these lemons were cultivated and refined through crossbreeding with local citrus, eventually becoming a prized crop and a symbol of the region. The growing process is so unique and so organic that people will often eat the entire lemon, rind and all. And when not eaten, the rind is used for limoncello, pasta sauces, compound butters and oils, essential oils and much more.
