The Amalfi lemon, known locally as "Sfusato Amalfitano," is a distinct variety of lemon grown on the terraced cliffs of the Amalfi Coast in Italy. These lemons are larger than the average lemon and are characterized by an elongated shape and a thick, wrinkled skin which is rich in aromatic essential oils. Their zest is highly prized for its intense, fragrant aroma.

The scent profile of the Amalfi lemon is uniquely vibrant and more intensely aromatic than other lemons. Its aroma combines bright citrus notes that are zesty and refreshingly sharp, with a slightly sweeter undertone compared to other lemons. The peel releases fragrant floral and subtly herbaceous notes, making it a favorite for culinary uses, especially in Mediterranean cuisine. The scent of Amalfi lemons is often described as sun-drenched, reflecting the coastal environment in which they are cultivated. This makes them highly valued not only in cooking but also in perfumery and aromatherapy, where their fresh and uplifting fragrance is employed to invigorate and refresh.
