The IGP lemons of Rocca Imperiale, Calabria, Italy

Rocca Imperiale is particularly pleasant because it’s not just a seaside resort but also a genuine old Calabrian small town high up on a panoramic promontory about 200 meters above sea level. With a population of 3,500, the village is the gate to Calabria on the Basilicata border, yet just a 50-minute drive from Matera, Basilicata.

The lemon of Rocca Imperiale is as succulent as that from Sorrento. It earned its own Protected Geographical Indication recognition (IGP) and is sold on the mainland and exported to Northern Europe.

Naturally, such fruit is not waxed, and if you finely pare or grate its skin, you will release its intensely lemony aromatic oils. Rocca Imperiale's lemons are very rich in limonene that confers a sweet taste and intense scent.

Citrus Bream Fillets

These fragrant Citrus Bream Fillets have a deliciously moist and flavour flesh. Cooking them requires a very simple but nonetheless effective technique you may want to impress someone with, thus making this a perfectly suitable recipe for a date night! Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

a lemon

a lime

2 beautiful fresh bream fillets

a good pinch of fleur de sel and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

a finger lime

In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat.

When the butter is just foaming, grate the zest of half the lemon and that of half the lime.

Add bream fillets, skin side down. When the butter just turns noisette (a light brown colour, and a slightly nutty scent), scoop it with a large tablespoon, and baste the fish fillets.

Continue basting the fish fillets in foaming citrus butter, until their flesh becomes opaque and is cooked through, about a quarter of an hour (more or less depending on their thickness.)

Season bream fillets, to taste, with fleur de sel and black pepper.

Halve finger lime.

Serve Citrus Bream Fillets hot, drizzled with citrus butter. Grate a little lemon and lime zest on top, and top with finger lime.

Lemons are an especially valuable citrus fruit with regards to bringing down cholesterol levels. This is because of their high satisfaction with vitamin C, a strong antioxidant that has been displayed to diminish the risk of heart disease.
