The juiciest Lemon! Si signore! (Yes sir!) This is the lemon you've been looking for. Femminello Santa Teresa Lemon (Citrus limon 'Femminello Santa Teresa') has the most classic lemon taste found in a citrus fruit. It's the exact fruit that the Italians have been using to make their world-famous Limoncello drinks for ages.
There are many great things about the Italian Lemon, besides the taste. For starters, it has a low seed count. Fewer seeds mean it's easier to cook with or squeeze over your food or to put into your tea. It also has a high juice content - one of the highest of any lemon. This means that it is great to squeeze into a juice or lemonade!
Believe it or not, though, it isn't the juice that makes this lemon so revered...it's the rind. The lemon zest of the Italian Lemon is the real prize. The rind is high in lemon oil, which is the essential ingredient in so much Italian cooking and, yes, those world-famous Limoncellos!
