The Lemon of Etna PGI
Our lemon trees grow in a lava soil and are watered with the melted snow flowing from the peak of the Etna volcano.
In the juice and in the untreated peel of fruits occur a lot of bioactive and antioxidant substances, vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids and terpenes.
Our lemon trees stand out for the juice, albedo and flavedo fragrance and flavour of their fruits, as well as for the production of verdello lemons (the summer lemons), typical along the Ionian Sea coast of Sicily.
We can produce this lemons, that are light green upon ripening, thanks to the lava soil and a particular farming tecnhinque called “forzatura”.
Verdello lemons are available during the summer, from may to september.
Their juice is more rich of vitamin C, polyphenols e flavonoids than of the other seasonal lemons productions ones, as established by a scientific research released by the CREA-OFA of Acireale (Catania).
