	When is a lemon more than a lemon? When it’s a Sorrento Ovale, also known as the Massa Lubrense, which is produced and sold under the protection of the European Union. This high quality, highly perfumed fruit is identified by its sweet, juicy flesh and few seeds. Sorrento lemons are hand-picked so that they do not fall to the ground, and typically are ripened under pagliarelle, straw mats attached to wooden poles, which help protect them from the elements. The most famous product made from Sorrento lemons is limoncello (or limunciel, as the Campanians call it), a delicious traditional liqueur made from an infusion of lemon peel and pure alcohol. This drink is one of many authentic Italian lemon recipes that are celebrated and savored at the June lemon festival in Campania. More>>
