Sicilian Lemon Sorbet

Sicilian lemon sorbet is one of the world's most well-known and beloved frozen desserts, built on the vibrant, refreshing flavor of Sicilian lemons. Sicily is famous for its high-quality lemons, which have been grown for centuries thanks to the Mediterranean climate. The first sorbets were brought to Italy by the Arabs, and the Sicilians perfected this refreshing dessert. In the modern version, the intense tart notes of lemon and the balance of sugar create perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of Sicilian lemon sorbet melting in your mouth, cooling and refreshing with every bite!
