In Italy, I made some lovely Limoncello with my friend Valentino who is the King of Limoncello! You will love it. Follow me! / gennarocontaldo / gennarocontaldo
Gennaro seriously making limoncello, then all of a sudden.... "Oh look, a butterfly. Did you see it? It was a butterfly!!" Gennaro, this is why we love you!
I just want to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me, the way you love life and are always full of life and the food, the best chef in the world......my Italian Uncle.......in your words Gennaro “ oh my god “
Hi Gennaro! I'm an italian peruvian who learned to cook from my italian grandmother. I have been following you for years and made most of your recipes. It's great to have you here, please keep uploading videos! Ciao!
*Gennaro's recipes are usually very good, BUT this one is WAY off.* *1) The lemon zest & alcohol must steep a minimum of 3 weeks!* *2) He used way too much water, as it must always be a 50/50 split.* *3) That's way too much sugar, as it should be 25% of the total liquid.* *4) After combining all ingredients, they must marry another 3 weeks!*
I don't drink alcohol but I would literally watch you make anything chef Gennaro🤣😘❤️ you have no idea how much I love your personality, accent, appreciation of nature and fresh ingredients and just the way you live and love life😍😍 what a true inspiration, I wish I was italian so I would have people like you in my family cuz you guys adore cooking and fresh ingredients it's beautiful 😭😍😍❤️❤️❤️
I tried this. To quote Gennaro, "Why am I cooking so good?!". This home made limoncello quickly became one of my favorite after dinner digestifs, and my neighbor's too after I gave them some. Many thanks to you Gennaro for this and all your other videos and recopies, and please keep posting them for many, many more years.
I agree however i use just cheapo waxed lemons scrub off the wax and they work great. Been making my own limoncello for 20 years now and its so easy just make sure the alcohol is full of lemon peel.
OMG I’ve just found your channel and subscribed straight away. Thank You for showing us all these beautiful dishes and your wonderful expertise. So grateful 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Fresh water as opposed to water that's been stagnating in a bucket for two weeks Do taps just work different in Italy where you have to specify fresh water please
Hi Gennaro. Thanks for the recipes. This came out amazing and my whole family loved it. I noticed that this recipe does freeze on the freezer. Do you know what ratios are required in order for it to stay liquid in the freezer?
Hello Gennaro, this is amazing and easy. Following your recipe, how much is the alcohol concentration of the final limoncello? Is it above 30%? Thank you very much and much love from Lebanon 🇱🇧
In order to extract the essential oils & flavours from the lemon zest, only strong alcohol must be used, no less than 90% strength. It must be top quality Food grade alcohol, such, for example, as Grain or Cane sugar, (but if you want to adhere to the Italian traditions - then use only wine distilled alcohol). What you want is *_UN-denatured Ethanol_* - pure, high grade: Commonly used in manufacturing industries such as the Beverage and Food. Just google 'buy food grade ethanol' and your location to find a supplier. A knowledgeable salesperson in a liquor store may also be able to direct you.
Very timely video! I just picked up about 50 lemons from my neighbor. Big beautiful lemons! The recipe will change depending on what kind of alcohol you can buy (water/sugar amount). Here in California the law limits us to 120 proof (60%) as the maximum legally sold. There are online limoncello calculators out there such as 'LimoncelloQuest' amongst others. Ciao!
Very nice and so easy to make! Thank Gennaro for all your recipes, especially the Carbonara one, me and my girlfriend very like. Its incredible the taste! We would like to cook it for you :-) All the best!
