Whether at home or out, Caravella
Limoncello adds a continental spirit to any occasion.
Welcome to the essence of la dolce vita.
It is Caravella Limoncello, the sensation of Europe, now taking the
U.S. by storm. From the long-revered Italian tradition of the classic
limoncello, this exquisite liqueur is made from the finest grain
spirits infused with the juice and peels of lemons from Italy's sunny
southern Amalfi coast.
The term "limoncello" describes one of
Italy's most relished drinks. At the beginning of this century, it
became very fashionable in homes to soak lemon peels and leaves in
fine alcohol, adding sugar to create a delicious liqueur served
well-chilled on hot summer nights. The lemons, which grow plentifully
on Italy's spectacular southern coast, were highly valued not only for
their wonderful taste but also because they were considered to have
tremendous curative properties.
This bottled version, Caravella
Limoncello, was created by Paolo Sperone in Milan from a family recipe
dating back to 1898. Founded in 1911 by Antonio Sperone, the company
is now the world's fourth-largest producer of Italian aperitifs.
Though virtually unknown in the U.S. until now, limoncello is
currently so popular in Italy it accounts for 35% of total liqueur
consumption in that country.
Whether at home or when dining out,
Caravella Limoncello adds a continental spirit to any occasion. The
classic order comes ice cold,"neat", in a chilled cordial glass.
Caravella Limoncello should be stored in the freezer to ensure that it
is always served ice cold.
