Siracusa Lemon
The Siracusa lemon (Italian: ''Limone di Siracusa'' IGP) is the fruit of the cultivar ''femminello'' and its clones, corresponding to the botanical species '' Citrus × limon'' L. Burm. The ''femminello'' cultivar from Siracusa is the most common variety of lemon in Italy, and produces three main flowerings: the ''primofiore'' (from October 1), the ''bianchetto'' (also less commonly known as the ''maiolino,'' from April 15) and the ''verdello'' (or summer lemon, from July 1). The disciplinary regulations of the Siracusa lemon (PGI) forbids the use of waxes and/or fungicides in post-harvesting, and therefore the fruit is edible in all its parts. Origins The lemon plant originates in Burma, where it is found growing wild: from there it crossed the Middle East, Mesopotamia, and Syria (region), to the Mediterranean, where it found favorable conditions to thrive. The natural habitat of the lemon lies in a strip from the 40° parallel in the North to the 40° parallel in the South: th ...
