LIMECELLO

In Italy, a sweet liqueur (often limoncello) is traditionally sipped after meals as an aid to digestion. While limoncello is made from lemons, our Limecello is made from limes.

Here at Matahui Distillery we hand craft our “cellos” meticulously in small batches using traditional methods. In this way we showcase the bright zesty flavours of New Zealand’s finest fruit.

To craft our Limecello, we use fresh limes picked at perfect ripeness to maximise the aromatic oil content in the zest. This means we can impart the most wonderful lime flavour into our Italian style liqueur.

How to serve:
Serve chilled neat or over ice, or add to cocktails for a burst of citrus flavour. There is no need to serve from the freezer; refrigerator temperature is ideal.

All our liqueurs are completely natural, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Much like a wine, this means flavours may alter with age. For this reason it is best to store our Limecello in a dark cupboard or the refrigerator to minimise flavour alteration over time.
