Azienda Agricola PIPPO DI MAURO

In the Syracuse area, Azienda Agricola Pippo di Mauro cultivates Femminello, the centuries-old cultivar that forms the basis of the IGP Limone di Siracusa. This citrus fruit knows not just one season, but three distinct harvests — Primofiore, Bianchetto, and Verdello — spread throughout the year, each uniquely tied to the coastal climate and the salinity rising from the Ionian Sea. The denomination within which the farm operates is confined to just ten municipalities, a testament to its geographical precision. The resulting fruit is juicy and intensely fragrant, a raw material cherished in Mediterranean cuisine and vital for the processing industry that has built a supply chain around the Syracuse lemon. More than a seasonal product, here the citrus is a continuous resource, made possible by the overlapping harvest cycles: a natural rhythm that ensures its presence almost all year round, never straying from the terroir that gives it life.
