About Villa Massa Limoncello
Sara Massa, Brand Manager for Villa Massa Limoncello, gives us some insight into pairing food with this amazing Italian liqueur. Villa Massa’s limoncello uses a family recipe that dates back to 1890, a recipe that has always used Sorrento lemons.
The Unique Sorrento Lemons
These large, bright yellow citrus fruits are quite specific in character, possessing their own protected Geographical Indication (PGI) by the E.U. Some years later, limoncello from the Sorrento region received its own protected status. Sorrento lemons are particularly juicy with a balanced acidity and powerful fragrance, all of which translate into the limoncello for which they are used.

The bright, sweet-tart flavor of Villa Massa limoncello makes it a natural base for spring and summer cocktails. Sara is partial to the Villa Massa & Tonica.
