The origin of Limonceflo

The story of our Limonceflo goes back more than 15 years when Marco, an Italian man with a temperament as gentle as the finest liqueurs, discovered the recipe. Marco grew up in Sanremo, on the splendid Riviera dei fiori, in northwestern Italy.

About 40 years ago, Marco inherited a small two-room apartment located on the heights of Sanremo, offering a breathtaking view of the historic old town known as "La Pigna." Quickly, this place became the family's favorite vacation spot.

Nearly 30 years ago, Hedi, Marco's wife, planted a small lemon tree in the garden of this apartment. This tree continued to grow into a magnificent specimen, robust and full of energy (and fruit). It perfectly symbolizes their relationship.

At first, lemons were mainly used for their juice (nothing like a delicious homemade lemonade in summer!). But everything changed the day Marco, sitting on his terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, challenged himself to create a liqueur typical of his country: limoncello. Over the years, Marco and Hedi perfected the recipe to achieve the perfect balance between alcohol, sugar, and the delicious taste of lemon. It must be said that the family was always eager to participate in the tastings...

Once the perfect recipe was found, the secret of this limoncello was jealously guarded and this uniquely flavored liqueur accompanied countless family meals... Until the day their granddaughter Amélie introduced them to Florian, a dynamic young Dutchman and great enthusiast of digestifs, who immediately fell under the charm of the limoncello. Florian was instantly won over by the combination of the pronounced lemon flavor and the quality of a true digestif. Indeed, the nectar perfected by Marco offers a perfect balance between the freshness of lemon and the invigorating effect of a digestif.

One day, Marco gave Florian a surprising and moving gift: for the first time, he revealed the secret recipe of his famous limoncello. Immediately caught up in the excitement, Florian asked for Marco's blessing to carry out his own experiments, a request that was met with a big smile (and a few tears of joy).

Three years later, after many liters produced, tested, and savored, the desire was born to share this unique and delicious liqueur. Always with the blessing of its creator and scrupulously respecting the original recipe, Florian is proud to present to you his Limonceflo.
