ANYWAYS EXPERIENCE: ADOPTING A LEMON TREE
Iolanda loves her land and believes in sustainable agriculture. With love and passion she decided to carry on the family tradition, continuing to cultivate the family lemon grove with the same love with which her grandfather Vincenzo did it, 30 years before her.
Her lemons, which she likes to describe “with a real lemon flavor” are as good today as they were then. Their peel – not treated with chemicals and waxes – is perfect for cooking preparations and for making liqueurs.
