From its tapered shape to its brilliant color to its aroma capable of transporting us directly through the typical alleys of the centre of Amalfi, in a warm summer day walking on those stones that have seen history and traditions, film stars and celebrities but above all travellers from all over the world who come to the Amalfi Coast to take part in this postcard.
Amalfi's Yellow Gold
Parliamo dello Sfusato Amalfitano, oggi prodotto IGP, che prende questo nome proprio dalla sua particolare forma. Apprezzato in tutto il mondo e utilizzato per alcune delle tipiche
ricette amalfitane come la Delizia o lo spaghetto al limone senza dimenticare
l’utilizzo che ne viene fatto nella produzione del famoso Limoncello, liquore tipico
di questi luoghi.
Cultivation techniques for Sfusato Amalfitano
Today, Sfusato is still cultivated using traditional farming techniques through the use of terracing, which not only serves this purpose but also characterises the much-loved typical coastal landscape.
