Lemon liqueur / Limontejo, 500ml

The Limontejo lemon liqueur combines the traditional art of Italian limoncello with the sun-ripened lemons of Alentejo. Made according to an old family recipe, the first limoncello produced in Portugal was born from a shared passion for good food, conviviality, and Mediterranean zest for life.

Behind Limontejo are Francesco Catucci, a native Italian, and his Portuguese brother-in-law, Miguel. Francesco, who fell in love with Portugal and its people, brought his family's traditional recipe with him. Inspired by the "ricetta della mamma" – his mother's recipe – the two together developed an artisan-produced lemon liqueur that harmoniously combines Italian tradition and Portuguese ingredients. The family estate in Alentejo, with its aromatic lemons, finally made this dream a reality.

Limontejo uses carefully selected lemons from Alentejo. Their fresh and intense aroma gives the liqueur its distinctive character. The result is a pleasantly sweet, fruity liqueur with a vibrant citrus note and Mediterranean freshness.

Best served ice-cold, Limontejo is a classic digestif, but it is also excellent as an aperitif, on the rocks, or as a refined ingredient for cocktails and desserts. Its harmonious balance of sweetness and freshness makes it a versatile companion for social moments with family and friends.
