Sicily is a land of sun, sea, history, culture and….lemons!
Located on the east coast of Sicily you can find the beautiful city of Syracuse, known throughout the world for its history, culture, and artistic and culinary beauty.
However, not everyone knows that there is a hidden treasure in Syracuse, but we at Azienda Agricola Oliva are ready to introduce you to through our favola lalemon tour.
Your treasure hunt starts in Solarino, a few minutes away from Syracuse, and headquarters of our farm. Here we will welcome you to our golden garden, the place from which our lemon tour will start.
But what is the treasure we are going to discover?
We are talking about the Femminello di Siracusa IGP lemon, considered among the most selected in Italy, because of its organoleptic properties, juicy flesh and silky, deep yellow skin.
Surely you know how to use lemon in cooking, but….have you ever thought of using it outside its normal range of use?
Well yes, lemon can be used to scent laundry drawers by using the zest, as a degreaser for encrusted pans, and even as a beauty product: ask Dior or Chanel directly, who choose the fruit while it is still green, extracting essential oils of the highest quality.
Now that we have discovered the hidden treasure of Syracuse, we can begin our fairytale lemon tour. We will begin by explaining all the differences and properties between the various types of lemons found in Italy, a real lesson in the world of lemons. However, our experience is above all a sensory experience, inside our lemon grove you will be able to see, touch, feel and why not, pick and taste our fantastic lemons.
Our tour does not end there! Do you know who is the lemon’s best friend? Our favola extra virgin olive oil!
After our walk in the lemon grove is over, we will let you discover our extra virgin olive oil varieties by combining them with delicious foods of our land , ready to surprise your palate!
