ingredients: lemon peel ("lemone di Sorrento P.G.I"), glucose-frustose syrup, sugar
Italian Sorrento lemons, also known as Limone di Sorrento or Sorrento lemons, are a renowned variety of lemons that are grown in the region of Sorrento, located on the southwestern coast of Italy.
They are highly prized for their unique characteristics and have been granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status by the European Union, which ensures their authenticity and origin.
They have a vibrant yellow peel, medium to large size, and a slightly wrinkled surface. These lemons are highly aromatic, with an intense, fragrant scent. The flavor is a delightful combination of sweet, tangy, and slightly bitter notes.
They are used in various culinary applications, including desserts, seafood dishes, salads, dressings, and marinades. Sorrento lemons are also famous for their use in the production of Limoncello, a traditional Italian lemon liqueur.
They thrive in the Mediterranean climate of the Sorrento Peninsula, just south of Naples where the fruit benefits from warm summers, mild winters, volcanic soil, abundant sunshine, and sea breezes.
The season for Sorrento lemons is from February to July, with peak harvest in May and June.
These lemons are wonderful! We know them from Panettone and Lemon Olive oil and love both of those products!

“I like to think of ChefShop as the curator for my taste buds! I eagerly look forward to my newsletter to learn about your next mouth watering discovery. Thank you!“
Interesting ingredients, found in interesting places.
From century-old traditions to something completely new, we like knowing where they come from, who makes them, how they're made, and what they taste like. Some are ingredients Chefs or customers have asked us to find. Others are discoveries. We taste, test and use everything before we share it with you. Not just what it is, but why we like it. Maybe you'll like it, too.
I only drink mocktails now, so here's a tip. Take one of the candied lemon peels, slice it into a quarter pencil length strips, and add one or two to your favorite mocktail. This adds a nice taste and a visual touch, especially to amarro type drinks. Plus, as it soaks and gets soft, it becomes fun to eat right in the glass!

Deep chocolate experience: This cocoa takes anything chocolate to a whole new level. The depth and smoothness is beyond any brand I have used, and I have used many. Intense chocolate experience, but not bitter or harsh. Be prepared to be asked for repeat performances! -Seth

For the breadth and quality of its offerings, nothing equals ChefShop.com. In addition to well-chosen examples of an Italian kitchen's staples...there are excellent products from other parts of the world and, in season, fresh salmon from the Northwest, plus an item that has all but disappeared from neighborhood markets, genuinely tree-ripened, sugary fruits." -Marcella & Victor Hazan

Best Cocoa Ever

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate it. Also your shop is awesome and it’s always a joy getting packages from y’all in the mail. -Peter
Our favourite cocoa
I have 8 varieties of cocoa at home -- red cocoa, black cocoa, natural cocoa, and several high-end specialty cocoas (Barry Extra Brut, Valrhona, Guittard, Ghirardelli...). My family goes through enormous quantities of cocoa powder -- for hot cocoa, brownies, chocolate cakes, cookies... and this is by far our favourite. It has depth, complexity, and richness. While the specialty cocoas are excellent, I find they can sometimes be quite bitter, lack richness or body. This one is always perfect for whatever we are making. And being in Canada, I go to great lengths to buy this cocoa -- that should tell you how much we love it! - Monika
