Villa Massa is the company which produces the traditional lemon liqueur of the same name. Commonly called "limoncello", our lemon liqueur is made according to a family recipe which dates back to 1890. The Massa family are the owners of the "Villa Massa ®" trademark and manage the production. The firm is run by Sergio Massa and his brother Stefano. Villa Massa are the national leaders in terms of price and volume among those companies which exclusively use fresh Sorrentine lemons - the only variety which is recognised in Europe by the term "Indicazione Geografica Protetta" (Protected Geographical Location), or (I.G.P.) - and are based in Piano di Sorrento in the heart of the Sorrentine peninsula. Production and bottling is carried out in via Mortora S. Liborio, while the lemons themselves are cultivated partly in gardens owned by the company and partly by external growers, all rigorously controlled and all within the Sorrentine peninsula. Apart from the traditional lemon liqueur, Villa Massa are also famous for their orange, mandarin, citrus fruit and walnut liqueurs, not to mention their cream liqueurs made by the addition of a delicate milky cream.
