The region can thank its warm and stable climate and its fertile soil for its historically rich citrus bounty, as well as its volcanic sediment.
Volcanic soils are enriched with nitrogen, potassium, and magnesium, which increase peel thickness, size, and juice content of the lemons.
Farmers faced roadblocks in the 16th century due to Sorrento's sloping terrain but developed the Sorrentine Pergolato to support lemon growth.
The unique limestone and lava made soils in Sorrento provide crucial nutrients that lead to the distinct flavor and aroma of Sorrento lemons.
