Sicilian Primofiore Lemons from Our Farm

Source: lemons grown in Avola, in the heart of Sicily

Our first-flush Sicilian lemons are grown on the land of the Azienda Agricola Turuzzo, located in Avola, one of the finest regions for citrus cultivation.

This area offers ideal conditions:

• A mild Mediterranean climate all year round
• Significant exposure to the sun
• Fertile, well-drained soil
• The influence of sea breezes

Thanks to these characteristics, the lemons develop a perfect balance between acidity and aroma, making them particularly popular for both domestic and professional use.

Production follows environmentally friendly farming methods, with a strong connection to local traditions.

Characteristics of Sicilian Primofiore lemons

The primofiore lemon is one of the most widespread and popular varieties, usually harvested between autumn and winter.

It stands out for:

• Regular elliptical shape
• Light yellow skin
• High juiciness
• An intense and lingering fragrance
• A fresh, bold flavour

As they are untreated, the lemons can also be used with their zest, making them ideal for cooking and baking.

Hand-picking ensures that only the best fruit is selected, preventing damage to the skin and preserving the quality of the produce.
