BASILE ORAZIO S.S.

Basile Orazio S.S. cultivates Limone di Siracusa IGP along the Syracuse coast, where the Femminello variety finds its most congenial mild climate. Harvesting follows the entire year, punctuated by three successive flowerings—Primofiore, Bianchetto, and Verdello—which capture the citrus fruit at different stages of its ripening. Each cycle yields a nuance of the fruit: abundant juice, peel rich in essential oils, lively acidity. This is a snapshot of a protected area encompassing ten municipalities, where the influence of the sea creates ideal conditions for this Sicilian lemon. The company focuses its craft on a single denomination, transforming the harvest calendar into a method: not just one harvest but three appointments, each with a distinct character, which together tell the story of the continuity with which the Femminello accompanies the seasons of the Ionian coast. The result is a citrus fruit that knows no pauses, available in different forms depending on the month it is picked from the tree.
