Caffo Crema di Limoncello

Appearance: Slightly yellow-beige cream. Opaque. Aroma: Sweet sherbet lemon, but soft and not as immediate or pungent as most limoncello. Flavour and Texture: The texture is creamy, thick and rich. The flavor is of soft, sweet lemons with a spritzy quality but like the nose this is modulated by the creamy presence. This is a very pleasant cream liqueur that I would particularly recommend to anyone who likes the aroma and flavor of lemon but finds most regular limoncello to be too bitter or sharp in flavor. It has a luxurious and velvety texture and is very satisfying. It is delightful neat as a digestif and goes very well as a small drink to accompany an after dinner coffee, however I would recommend chilling it as it works best when cold. It is also an excellent topping over ice cream and is perfect drizzled over rich fruit cake as a dessert. I’ve had cream liqueurs before but this is the first creama di limoncello I’ve tried, and I’m interested now to try others. It’s very affordable and well worth a taste. “Good” : 84/100 (3.75 stars)
