Amalfi Lemon Grove
$22.00
Terraces of lemon trees stacked up the cliffs behind Amalfi, each one held by a dry-stone wall and roofed with a lattice of chestnut poles. The fruit is the Sfusato, long and thick-skinned, grown nowhere else. The growers who tend it work the pergolas overhead, and have long been called the flying farmers. The scent reaches the old path between Maiori and Minori before the groves come into view. Nothing about it is fast. The walls are stacked by hand, the way they were a thousand years ago, and the fruit comes down a basket at a time.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
