Why lemons? The terraces behind the name
The story of the lemon terraces and why they gave our brand its name.
Lemons are not just a souvenir on this coast. They are part of the landscape, the food and the history of these mountains.
Terraces built by hand
The steep slopes above the sea are held up by stone terraces, built over centuries so that people could farm land that was almost vertical. Many lemon groves are still worked today, often with narrow stairs and small pergolas that protect the trees.
A very local lemon
The lemon of the Amalfi Coast is large, fragrant and known for its thick, aromatic peel. It appears in desserts, liqueurs and everyday cooking across the area.
Why we chose lemons for our name
Peaks are the mountains and the trails. Lemons are the sun, the hospitality and the sweet and sharp character of this corner of Campania. Walking between the two is exactly what we like to do.
