LEMON | How Does it Grow? ITALY SPECIAL: sweet Amalfi lemons 

"I was conceived under a lemon tree, lemon juice runs in my heart and veins" This episode is beyond beautiful

This makes me want to drop everything, move to the Amalfi Coast and beg to apprentice for this family. Beautiful history

I don't know why my tears kept on falling while watching and my heart dances while Gigino speaks... this is so nice. Their family could be considered as heroes of their community❤❤❤

I will always have a huge respect and admiration for all the farmers doing all the hardwork to feed us. 💖

I can respect his work and dedication...i am glad his son is going to carry on the family farm.

We really need to appreciate the farmers that devote their lives to producing our food for us. It may be a simple life, compared to other jobs, but it is extremely important and fulfilling. This video illustrates the beauty of farming and carrying on traditions, and how those traditions can very well keep society from crumbling apart.

Now I'm crying, also you're crying! 😢 This video is not just about the lemons, it's about the people all around it. May these lemon trees continue to grow and protect the people 😊

I absolutely LOVED this episode. I myself have a Meyer Lemon tree that's someone turned into a hybrid tree with a grapefruit and oranges all on one tree. I got it from Florida and so far I've had some AMAZING lemons. So sweet and sour. This is truly inspiring. God bless this gentleman and his family. I'd love to visit or even help him harvest.. Such a sweet and wholesome episode

This is absolutely wonderful, I was moved to tears by this family's dedication and love of their land, the sheer beauty of the life around them, and the yearning to have this deep connection to the land myself. Please keep showcasing these kinds of farmers, not only is it so important to share their stories and perspectives, but you're changing the hearts and minds of people all over the world, how we look at farming, and giving us a new appreciation for where our food comes from and who grows it! Much love from Canada, keep finding new food adventures and sharing your and your team's amazing work

This old man had me in tears with his love for the land and his beautiful trees. Thank you for another amazing video. Hopefully you can travel to other places in the world too.

I'm so overwhelmed by this episode, God bless Gigino and his whole family 💕💕

I lived in Sicilia for a year. The Sicilians I lived with were chefs and a fisherman. Very simple. Washing dishes? Plates, cups are kept in a wooden or steel rack above the sink. We kept these beautiful lemons by the sink. Just cut and use the thick pulp and juice to just wipe the dishes. No rinsing needed. Then just place the plates, bowls, cutlery back in the racks! They grew their own olives (a large stone press was in the courtyard that folks would use), grape vineyards that were easier to press (no we didn’t stomp on them!), and lemons. We’d climb up in the mountains to irrigate each night from aqueducts. We lived near Taormina by Mt Etna the active volcano. It was BEAUTIFUL. I ate plates of pasta each day but never gained weight. Long climbs, hauling water, harvesting…I was the most fit in my life. No butter, just Italian baguettes fresh each morning. Siestas each afternoon and the shops all closed. Sweet naps in cool shade. We played tennis on the public clay courts everywhere. I would still be living in Sicilia if I had any sense! BTW the Sicilians don’t speak Italian you’ll find on Rosetta Stone. It’s a specific local language and as an American woman (only American in coastal town) the locals loved hearing me make embarrassing mistakes. Kind good people! BTW be forewarned! The Sicilian men are very macho! Don’t expect equality. But walking with my fiancé each night on the lungomare the men dress in their finest modern suits, the married women all in black dresses. No shorts or pants for me. Even harvesting fruit I wore dresses.

Nicole, this lemon farm looks like heaven. I am sitting home, drinking your favorite earl grey tea (harney and sons), and watching your lemon video. I love your choice of shirt. It matches well with the lemons. Thank you for sharing :-) By the way, I love the 80 year old farmer. God bless him, and you too.

Normaly I do not send messages... But you worth it! Your show is brilliant! It's extremely sensitive and pure. If u ever want to come to Brazil, to know the Northeast culture of 400 hundred years, let me know. I stud American and Brazilian gastronomy for a fell years. You would be impressed. Thank you for bring us such an amazing joy on your videos!

Im crying. Gigino has so much love for his land, so beautiful😭😭😭😭

We cannot let something like this die. This is just... pure..

You did it again TRUE FOOD TV! The content quality is beyond phenomenal! Kudos!

There are so many elder people that we admire how dedicated they are. I myself oftentimes see elders that love their profession even in their late ages, it's not because the money they earn but the passion to keep the tradition or heritage. That's what we can learn from them as the youngsters. By the way your video is amazing too. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩 😊

Words can not convey the feelings created by this footage! As a foodie and lover of all ingredients I love the passion he exudes!

Tears are flowing. So beautiful. Great work!

I found myself smiling while watching this. I could feel the exuberance you and the men exuded, and it was heartwarming. 💛

This is so beautifully done. Love this series!!

Gigino is a treasure. Thank you. Beautiful.

Hi Nicole. I am from India. I am a farmer too. I salute the flying farmers for the hard work, they are doing. I like you're all episodes. The 'lemon farm' the way you do the picturisation is awesome. Looks like heaven on earth. Here in India too there are places like the northeast and the sahyadri's the farming is done on the hill sides.

Love the backround music. It's so calming. What can I say? Another awesome video! Impeccable work ma'am. :)

This is now my favourite educational video here in TRUE FOOD TV / HOW DOES IT GROW? 😍😌 Amazing video as always.

This is what life is about. How this man speaks is poetry. I am forever changed.

The old man is also a poet! His words are romantic! I enjoyed listening to what he said.

WOW QUEEN YOU ARE A LEGEND. ENJOY YOUR TRIP IN ITALY

I have been watching your videos for a while now Nicole but coincidentally I’m currently studying abroad in Italy (Milan) right now and I saw the thumbnail of this video today and booked a trip to Amalfi!

This actually made me cry! What a tremendous story of family, love, love of his lemons. God bless this Flying Farmer!

I am sitting in front my computer with tears... this episode is just so moving. I would gladly travel half across the world to be right there... I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life caring and nurturing lemon trees.

How beautiful, it would be lovely just to sit under those trees. Good job True Food TV 👍

There are so many food shows but why I keep coming to watch your show in RU-vid..coz the way you present it ..we feel like we are in the farm with you.. simple awesome..loved this one too.. Love n regards from Gangtok 🤗🤗

As I've watched this video, I am so moved.. Dedication and Passion is incomparable.

These farmers are so genuine. They are worriers like climbing these lemon trees carrying on the legacy they have started hundreds of years ago. Wow you have to salute them.

Wow! This is beautiful. It almost bring tears into my eyes. Godbless you and your team. I hope you create more of like this.

I love this!!! I want to give this man a warm tight hug!!!! He’s so sweet and I’m touched ❤️❤️

Breathtakingly beautiful. I love his passion for his work, and I love your channel! Thank you for bringing us stories like this!

this place is heavenly perfect...stayed here at amalfi and havent seen any place more beautiful and peaceful than here

His way of speech... is amazing.

Thank you for raising awareness about such a specific issue that will surely move people around the world who watch this.

I would love to try that lemon cake! For someone who appreciates the gift from mother nature and dedicates his life to preserve all the traditions / environment, his fruits have to be special. How can they not be? His face along tells me how good those lemons are.

Lemon shirt at the lemon grove was a good choice. I can't believe this information is free. I almost feel guilty for not paying for it. I love your channel 😍

This old man living with full of happiness even he’s gone Hes life is so simple,happy and no Worries under the lemon tree’s (look how the way he smile) love this episode

While I wacth this video, I can't avoid remember my grandfather working in the garden in his fruits, the happines s of his life

Nicole . Thank you once again for another piece of superbly done video. What you are doing helps to preserve much of earth's culture and historical richness. I wouldn't have known about this bit of Amalfi uniqueness if I had not watched this. You realize that you are now also a historian? Awaiting your next video.👍

A truly touching and beautiful story!! i love how Nicole is so respective and kind to Gigino. This was a teachable moment to my kids to appreciate food and those who make it possible for us to eat

I salute Gijino and his son, for the brave work. Bravo !

gigino sees his lemon with pure love❤️

I'm going through a chronic health crisis at the moment but once I heal up I am packing my bags for Italy. I dont want to live the stressful life in North America. I'd love to make lemonchello and olive oil

Wow probably the only episode that made my eyes water. That is one beautiful life he has there.

He is doing great work, with all the climbing it is amazing that his knees are still working well. Gives him a great reason to get up every morning.

I've enjoyed all of your videos, but this one was by far the best. Thank you so much for making it and sharing it!

Ive watched a good many of your videos and enjoyed each one. However, this one truly moved me. By far your most intimate!

This series is so wonderful!!! We watch it in the nursing home where I work for armchair travel. We made Amalfi lemon bars. The residents LOVED this senior farmer!!! ❤️🍋❤️🍋❤️🍋

I have one word to describe this video ...... AMAZING! I was so moved watching this, at one stage I seriously had a tear in my eye. Your content & delivery is on point.

Its like a magical land... Its so beautiful So spell bounding Enchanting I could live there forever I loveeeeeee citrus fruits And its a heaven

Wow amazing hard working people's

I want to give this man the fountain of youth...so adorable....

Nicole, I have been enjoying your TF series for a while now but this episode is truly exceptional. My Mother was Sicilian and my first job after high school was working in an Italian restaurant owned and operated by a couple who were from Italy. You brought back a lot of wonderful memories both of her and them. Thanks for the reminder of a very special time in my life. 🙏❤️

I really enjoy watching your channel, its full of joy with colourful fruits, well-told story, and informative even. But this one really moved me. What a great content and coverage it is; exposing the real essence of life. I bet you can be a great Anthropology and Sociology researcher too. 👍🏻

I never usually post, but this video is just so beautifully done. Thank you for sharing his story!

This episode is beyond beautiful I'm crying

So lovely to watch.....such a dedicated farmer....

That was beautiful, almost cried

Of all the videos that I watched so far on this channel, this one is my favourite. This place is so beautiful, I wanna move there one day! I'm amazed by the dedication and care that Gigino puts into his farm, and as always, I love and adore the quality and production of this video! "Knock, knock..." "Who's there?" "Your new subscriber. Hi!" Keep up the good work. We need more quality content like this one. :) P/S: Please do banana next. One of my favourite fruit ever!

ONe of the most precious places on the planet. Truly magical!

The trees affect the micro climate, the roots prevent landslides. They are finally replanting the slopes of Spain now. I hope they don't stop. Such a beautiful film.

Such lovely people. Loved the music and video. Subscribed

I binged this series in one day.

This is so important to document culture like this. Amazing work. Every second was filled to the brim

I am thrilled to see these lemon tress spouting lemons. How amazing!

Awesome series! I love the videography, and the way you narrate is wow!

Very well done thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to share these stories and pass on the awareness of how crucial a role these plants are!

My goodness....I can't get over the size of those lemons... Just wow!!💞

Gigino’s heart is so healthy since he walk up and down the stairs his whole life. I love this video soooooo much!

What a amazing episode, gave me such a peaceful feeling. I really like your channel, the language and passion you have for it. Thanks for producing a content like this. Greetings from Brazil.

Beautiful lemon farm...who doesnt like lemon 👍👍👍 Amazing video

Just discovered your channel. I love the grass roots approach to where our food comes from. This is the best of the ones I have seen. The love of life and lemons is humbling. Please keep up the great work.

I cannot describe the wonder and amazement I felt watching this video. This man does a wonderful work.

This video is full of heart. I love everything in here and it made me want to go to Amalfi 😍😍 And Looking forward to your Naples video!

Best video ever. how beautiful ways you use to tell us about farming i wish we can see everything good in the world through your videos not about agriculture only. Thank you very much this what we need on RU-vid.

this episode is amazing... the quality of the video, the story that gigino shared, the background music.... and overall this episode is just too pure 😭❤

By far, the best episode I’ve seen. It’s always amazing to see how farmers take such pride in their work😌. It’s amazing.

This was such an interesting and satisfying video. Much respect

What a well done video! Love all of your videos but this one is by far the most interesting and heartfelt! The farmer is inspirational! Thank you for posting this awesome video!! Keep the videos coming! 👍

Gigino really waxes poetic about his lemons. All farmers are poetic about their products and live-stock, I guess. If one cannot see the poetry in an apple or a cow - one can never become a farmer. Thanks, Julia to yourself and your team.

Lemon juice runs in my heart and veins instead 'blood'. How wonderful!

I'm a huge fan of this channel and loves all there content

My favorite episode so far! Love, love, love it!!!

And the ending scene with the old man doing his job with the lovely music in the background is so calming. Thank you for sharing his story.

By far your best episode, made me go through so many happy memories and feelings of my own grandfather tending the fields and the sadness that this is a dying art. More of this please, much much more

The video is so beautiful, including the host 😄. Keep em comin❤️

Beautifully filmed video. I hope I’m as agile as this guy when I’m old!

Breathtakingly beautiful. Love this ❤️

This was a very touching videogame!!Their care and love for the people and awesome trees made me cry!!The beautiful trees are definatly ones of a kind!! Please send my love and great respect to this awesome family!!!!Love and a great fan!!! Tamsen Roberts in Riverside California.....
