The Verdello Lemon is a prized Sicilian lemon variety known for its smooth, bright yellow skin and high juice content. Unlike standard lemons, the Verdello is unique in that it is harvested off-season when other lemons are out of season. This variety is not a separate species but rather a result of a special cultivation technique in Sicily, where trees are carefully managed to produce a second, off-season crop. Verdello lemons are slightly less acidic than other lemons, offering a well-balanced citrus flavor that is both tangy and mildly sweet.
