Anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast for the first time is instantly captivated by the breathtaking views, the sea, and the charming villages perched on the cliffs. But there’s another star of this land, silent and fragrant, that adds color and soul to our coast: the Amalfi Coast lemon.
Large, slightly irregular in shape, and incredibly aromatic, the local lemon — known as the "Sfusato Amalfitano" — is one of the most iconic symbols of the region. Its intense fragrance and delicately floral flavor make it unlike any other citrus in the world. It's more than just a fruit — it's part of our heritage.
A Taste That Tells a Story
Lemons here grow on ancient terraced gardens overlooking the sea, lovingly cared for by local farmers. The pergolas you’ll spot on a walk through the hills are a key part of the landscape, and every fruit is the result of patient, handcrafted work passed down through generations.
And from this extraordinary fruit comes one of our most beloved local delicacies: lemon marmalade. Sweet yet tangy, fresh and full of character, it’s perfect for spreading on toast in the morning, pairing with aged cheese, or using as a secret ingredient in homemade desserts.
Fragrance, Flavor, and Wellness
Lemon marmalade isn’t just delicious — it’s good for you too. Naturally rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential oils, it helps boost the immune system, aids digestion, and provides a refreshing burst of energy.
The aroma that rises the moment you open a jar is magical: it evokes summer sunshine, sea breezes, and peaceful afternoons under the shade of a lemon grove.
A Taste to Take Home
During your stay at our B&B, you’ll have the chance to taste our homemade lemon marmalade, prepared according to traditional recipes — or even take a jar home with you. It’s a small but powerful reminder of the Coast, ready to brighten your breakfasts wherever you are.
It also makes for a thoughtful and authentic gift — crafted with love, from locally grown lemons kissed by the Amalfi sun.
🍋 B&B Tip:
In the morning, try our lemon marmalade on toasted bread with a spoonful of fresh ricotta. It’s a simple, unforgettable explosion of local flavor and genuine tradition.
