Variety description

10 August 2026

The Limoncella variety, also known as Limoncella del Molise, is an ancient crop that developed over centuries in Italy. The name of the variety emerged in the 19th century and is due to the characteristic shape of the fruits and the specific lemony taste of the flesh.

The apple fruits are small, oval-shaped, with smooth skin covered in a bloom. The color is predominantly yellow, sometimes with the presence of a pink blush. The flesh is cream-colored, characterized by juiciness, a crispy structure, and a sweet-and-sour taste.

The variety belongs to the winter group and possesses good storage ability. The fruits can be consumed fresh or used for preparing various dishes. The variety is represented by a number of clones, including varieties with dark red coloration.
