Beheit Cristina
Beheit Cristina cultivates the terraced citrus groves of northern Gargano, where the peninsula's mineral soil and wind-swept orchards cling to steep slopes thanks to ancient terracing systems. Here, Limone Femminello del Gargano IGP ripens in the lustrino and fusillo varieties, accumulating the aromatic intensity that marks this origin: concentrated volatile oils and a balanced acidity that remain the fruit's signature. Harvesting proceeds by manual selection, a slow process that brings only specimens meeting the protected standard to market. Alongside the lemon, the company cultivates the promontory's second citrus denomination, Arancia del Gargano IGP: two fruits that share the same windy exposure and mineral soil, translating the particular conditions of this corner of Puglia into their pulp and zest. It is a small but coherent citrus catalog, held together by the terraces and a manual approach that allows no shortcuts.
