Amalfi Coast Lemon: a unique fruit born between Sea and Sky

The Lemon: the Golden Treasure of the Amalfi Coast

Written by (Massimiliano D'Uva), Saturday, October 18, 2025 12:59:43 PM

For centuries, the lemon has been regarded as a true concentrate of health. Rich in vitamin C (53 mg per 100 g), B-group vitamins, calcium (14 mg), and potassium (140 mg), it has purifying, antiseptic, and toning properties, helping to slow tissue aging and improve blood circulation.
Thanks to its organic acids, lemon aids digestion, stimulates the production of gastric juices, and helps regulate blood pressure by thinning the blood and preventing circulatory problems.

Lemon is also recommended for those suffering from arthritis, rheumatism, varicose veins, and liver disorders. Moreover, it acts as a natural disinfectant, effective in combating bacteria and viruses — even those responsible for typhoid fever and cholera.
For external use, its astringent and healing action makes it excellent for treating skin inflammation, sores, and blemishes, leaving the skin fresh and radiant.

On the terraced gardens suspended between the mountains and the sea, grows the famous Amalfi Coast Lemon I.G.P., also known as the "Sfusato Amalfitano."
This extraordinary fruit, with its elongated shape, thick, fragrant peel, and sweet, aromatic juice, boasts superior nutritional and aromatic qualities compared to other varieties.

The unique microclimate of the Amalfi Coast and the volcanic nature of its soil play a fundamental role in creating this exceptional lemon.
The proximity to the sea, the cultivation on sloping rocky terraces, and the volcanic origin of the soil create ideal conditions for growth. During the day, the fruit absorbs sea salt and iodine carried by the coastal breeze, while at night, temperature variations and natural humidity continue to nourish it.
When it rains, the perfect drainage of the soil prevents stagnation, ensuring a balanced supply of minerals and nutrients.

The result is a lemon of extraordinary quality, juicy, aromatic, and intensely perfumed — a fruit that the entire world envies for its flavor, beauty, and vitality.

Used to produce the world-famous Limoncello, but also ideal for seasonings, herbal infusions, and natural cosmetics, the Amalfi lemon represents the very essence of its land: pure, radiant, and full of life.

It is recommended to consume lemon daily, preferably as diluted juice in water or as a fresh dressing for vegetables and fish.
Grating a bit of lemon zest over food stimulates digestion and supports liver function.
It purifies the body, strengthens the immune system, and helps regulate stomach activity without altering its pH, thanks to the lemon's natural alkalizing action.

To relieve insomnia and nervous tension, boil a few pieces of lemon peel in water for a few minutes and drink it warm before bed — a simple, fragrant natural remedy to calm the mind and body.
