The limoncello recipe was born "in the homes of the elderly housewives of Sorrento" who, in addition to making lemonade and consuming lemons for classic cooking uses (therefore to perfume and flavor foods) "invented" with the citrus fruits collected in their lemon groves the liqueur made with lemon peel. Limoncello is an excellent digestive, it is typically enjoyed after coffee, but it is also suitable for taking a break.
