What's new at Limoncello

Buona Pasqua! Happy Easter! The Italians have a saying: “Natale con Iisuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi.” which means “Christmas with your family, Easter with whomever.”

Traditional Italian Easter Specialities

Easter at Limoncello brings a big influx of two specialities in particular: chocolate eggs and colomba. We have plenty of both to tempt you this spring!

Colomba - traditional Italian Easter cake

Colomba

This is the traditional dove-shaped Italian Easter cake. Very similar to the Christmas treats panettone and pandora, these sweet yeast-risen cakes are an essential part of the Italian celebration of Easter.

Filled with fruit or chocolate chips, laced with lemon-, hazelnut- or vanilla-flavoured cream, these cakes will add a festive touch to any holiday gathering.

They come in various packagings and we have a range of these available to order in our on-line catalogue!

Chocolate Eggs

In Italy, the biggest displays at Easter are the brightly decorated chocolate eggs – in sizes ranging from 10 gms to gigantic 8 kilo gobsmackers.Whatever the size, invariably they contain a surprise – anything from a plastic toy to costume jewellery.

The best chocolate Easter eggs are hand made by artisans who insert a surprise supplied by the purchaser. Car keys, watches and even engagement rings have found their way into the eggs of happy recipients!

You can order yours on-line or stop by our shop and see the stunning selection for yourself. They’re very popular so get yours early!

Available to order now in our online catalogue!
