In the bright light of the Campania region is where you’ll find the “Ovale di Sorrento”. This high-quality lemon stands out, not only for its distinctive round shape, but also for its unique rind, rich in essential oils, and the rich flavour of its juice.
The PGI Sorrento Lemon Protection Syndicate certifies the origin and the quality of our fruit, and the authenticity of the entire production chain that respects traditional Sorrentine manufacturing. Everything we do follows this tradition: starting from the use of “pagliarelle”, big wicker mats that protect our trees to from bad weather, to the production of the liqueur by infusing the alcohol with the zest.
Il Consorzio di Tutela del Limone di Sorrento I.G.P. attesta l'origine, la qualità dei nostri limoni e la genuinità dell'intera filiera produttiva, fedele alla tradizione sorrentina.

Whole Milk: 500 ml
Sugar: 150 g
Potato Starch: 35 g
00 Flour: 35 g
Egg Yolks: 6
Sorrento IGP Lemons: 3 (the zest)
Let’s start with the LEMON CREAM: place the zest in a saucepan with the milk, turn on a low heat and leave it to warm (without boiling the milk). In the meantime, place the egg yolks and the sugar into a bowl and whisk together until you get a homogeneous cream: add the flour and the potato starch and continue to whisk and then add the warm milk. Once you have a homogeneous mixture pour back into the pan filtering with a narrow mesh strainer. Cook the cream on a low heat while mixing with the whisk for around 15 minutes until it thickens.
Finally transfer the cream into a bowl and cover it with cling film: leave it to cool and then place it into the fridge. Next let’s move onto the BIGNÈ: place the water, milk, sugar, salt and butter (in cubes) into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the flour, stirring quickly and cook until you get a white glaze at the bottom of the pan (in around 2-3 minutes). Next transfer the mixture into a bowl and add one egg at a time mixing with a spatula: once they are mixed together you should get a smooth and consistent dough. Pour the mixture into a sac à poche and form small piles of dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper: next squash them slightly with a damp spoon. Next whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with a small amount of water and use it to brush the surface of the bignè. Place in the oven for around 15 minutes at 220° C, then finish cooking them at 180° C for a further 15-20 minutes placing a ball of tin foil between the door of the oven to keep it slightly ajar to act as an air valve. Finally take the cream puffs out of the oven, once they are cooled fill them with the lemon cream using a sac à poche.
