We take our limoncello (not lemoncello) a tad seriously. Made from a safely guarded recipe - two different types of lemons from south australia's oldest citrus plantation in lennane orchards, montacute valley, adelaide hills. This citrus orchard is believed to be planted 150 years ago.The lemons are what one might call "Ugly". Yes, they are different sizes and kind of weird-looking. Unfortunately, that meant that supermarkets did not want to buy them. To help preserve this historic orchard, applewood distillery put up our hands and promised to buy the whole crop to make our delicious limoncello. It is our labour of love. Literally! We spend 12 hours hand peeling lemons from the orchard to produce this delicious drop. In fact, we have a family ritual of taking turns to peel a couple of buckets a day. Everyone chips in! We think all lemons are beautiful and hope you do too. Saluti! - Distillery Notes
