On this episode of MYG I dive into Limoncello’s history, production and I taste 6 different types of “Limoncelli”.

**************************************
Limoncello originates from the beginning of the 1900s, in a small boarding house on the island of Capri, where the lady Maria Antonia Farace made this liqueur from the lemons in her orchard.
In 1988 her grandson Massimo Canale registered the first Trademark for “Limoncello”. This liqueur in an Italian staple and now there are thousands of Limoncello brands across the world.
