Read the fruit, beyond its name
The Campania profile describes an irregular ellipsoid or cylindrical fruit and its conspicuous lenticels. It distinguishes a similar, larger Limoncellona ecotype: the two names should not be collapsed into one uniform form.
CampaniaTry it in the kitchen
The regional agriculture guide notes cider use. Our suggestion: taste a slice fresh before trying the apple in a plain baked preparation. Its name is not enough to promise a precise lemon flavour.
