The Syracuse femminello
is the variety of our lemons which has been awarded the “PGI Limone di Siracusa’’ certification, named due to the high fertility of the plant, which produces 4 blooms a year:
(from October to March), which in turn stands out as ”Primofiore verde‘ (from October to December) with green or yellow skin, ‘Primofiore invernale‘ ( from January to March) with yellow skin, Bianchetto or Maiolino (from April to June) and finally Verdello (from July to September).
The variety is distinguished from the others by a high juice content, 34% higher, and the richness of oil glands in the skin as well as the high quality of essential oils.
