A Recipe Through Generations

Having been honoured with the secret of my grandfathers recipe, I have continued the tradition and shared his limoncello with many of my friends, The more I give away the more requests I receive for a “top up” and I have lost count of how many times I‘ve been asked for the recipe. Well, I can’t give you the recipe but I can offer you a glass. So why not treat yourself to a taste of Ludovici’s Italy.

Ludovici Arnette was born in Naples in 1843. An apprentice craftsman he followed his padrone to Newcastle upon Tyne where on the 18th July he married his sweet heart Isabella in a small chapel on Pilgram Street. To share a part of his beloved Italy with his bride and guests, he imported four crates of Sorrento lemons and using the family recipe produced a batch of traditional handmade Limoncello to celebrate the occasion. This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, is still enjoyed by his dependents today and is now produced by the family using traditional methods for you to enjoy.
