This fruit stands out for its large size (a single fruit can easily exceed one kilogram), its thick and irregular peel, as well as its very intense fragrance. Its taste is less acidic than that of lemon, with sweeter and more fragrant notes.
Citron also has a strong symbolic value in Sicily. In some traditions it is associated with prosperity, fertility, as well as protection and longevity.
