Dolce Amalfi opened with a blast of warm spices–cloves and cardamom–and green apple that was drizzled with a squeeze of lemon juice. It was quite heavy on the spices initially, but after five minutes, the spices were more blended with the other notes, but it started to smell like fruity bubblegum as a whole… just refined with cloves and cardamom, and perhaps a touch of tolu balsam that came through. that would be the commercial brands who claims niche, the one who aims for money growing like other brands that i can list them for you from now until next year but not to Sergio. Sergio has that respect to nations world wide, he never cared for money as much as he cared for praising other nations & make them special and that would be called "true artist". He made quite exclusives to Harrods, London in general, and to Russia besides others, cause that is his approach so artists can't call those nations slavery creators & communists respectively just because one artist has that vision for that part of the world! that would be the ignorant part. You must not confuse Lemon Almond Cake – Dolce di Amalfi with another classic of the Campania pastry: Lemon Torta Caprese. Both these cakes are made with almonds and lemon but they have different characteristics and ingredients. Lemon almond cake is a very simple recipe that can be enriched without changing its taste and characteristics.

Why we love it: Expect to be treated like royalty in this bewitching Italian paradise, which takes luxury to new heights in the Amalfi Coast. Limoncello is another famous specialty typical of the Amalfi Coast which exalts the aroma of lemons to the maximum. They frequently use it in cakes and savor it at the end of meals as a digestive. primele două minute de la aplicare îmi crează senzația că am sub nas aluat de cozonac dospit: vanilie, un pic de rom din cauza deschiderii alcoolice, coajă de lămîie și de portocală cu zahăr la borcan, stafide și pe fundal se simt notele de cuișoare; dulce copilărie. Perched on one of the most dramatic gorges of the coast, the Monastero Santa Rosa boasts spellbinding views of the sea. There is also a beautiful outdoor pool and an impecabble Michelin starred restaurant called Il Refettorio, which offers elevated Italian and Mediterranean classics. A cliffside sanctuary floating above the sea, the hotel is perfect for those looking to reconnect with their inner zen while in the Amalfi Coast. The best varieties of lemons for the preparation of Dolce di Amalfi, of course, are those from Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast: the famous “ Femminello di Santa Teresa” and the “ Sfusato Amalfitano“. These lemons are very rich in essential oils and beneficial properties and give the cake its wonderful flavor.Calitati tehnice foarte bune, longevitate de +8 ore cu siaj moderat-bun. Ma declar foarte multimita la toate aspectele. După 2 ore începe să se asemene tot mai mult cu MFK Grand Soir. Este cald, ușor condimentat și bine vanilat cu o notă de scorțișoară. Pendulează:cînd miroase 80% a Grand Soir, cînd se aseamănă tot mai mult cu notele din deschidere, a gumă de mestecat. Mirosindu-l prima oară, l-am asociat instantaneu cu acel lipici în cutie albă de plastic cu compartiment separat pentru lopățică, pe care îl foloseam intens la grădiniță și în primii ani de școală ca să meșteresc diverse. Practic, miros de lipici comunisto-optzecist infantil zaharisit. We recommend cooling the almonds before chopping them, this way you will prevent the oils contained in the almonds from coming out and giving an unpleasant taste to your recipes. It lasted for 10 hours until it was more of a skin-scent that lingered for a few more hours on my skin. The sillage and projection were moderate with the sillage dropping faster than the projection after four hours of wear. Personal Thoughts

Another very common variation is made by adding 40 ml (1/6 cup) of Limoncello liqueur to the cake batter. The Strada Statale 163 is a 40 kilometre road crosses from Sorrento to Salerno, with ferry services running between Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Salerno too. Positano is a gorgeous pastel-tinged village with houses nestled precariously on cliffs. It is the only place in the world where flat landscapes and straight roads feel totally out of place and where up and down are the only two directions that matter. Here, along the winding roads and cobblestoned streets, you will find plenty of stylish luxury hotels, cliffside cafés and Mediterranean restaurants to spend the afternoon in. In the first case you will get a darker and coarser flour and the texture of the cake will be more rustic.L-am mirosit a patra oară și, ce să vezi, nici lipici, nici compot de gutui, nici alifie. Gumă de mestecat fructată all the way. Bine că s-a terminat mostra, că nici nu vreau să mă gândesc ce mai ajungeam să-mi închipui că miros.

Why we love it: If your version of paradiso is an Apérol spritz by the pool accompanied by a delicious caprese salad – then we’re sure you’ll love Le Sirenuse too.

Personal Thoughts

Xerjoff Dolce Amalfi. This was my last-ditch effort as far as gourmands are concerned. Dolce Amalfi has an incredible opening which reminds me of bubble gum. I wish it lasted longer because it’s truly unique. Bubble gum is followed by lemon and vanilla. There were times that it smelled like vanilla extract which is used for cooking, sometimes lemon and sometimes the notes blended together creating the impression of a lemon tart. There’s something captivating about this fragrance that I kept smelling my wrist every time I wore it. However, I learned (or rather confirmed something what I always knew) that gourmands are not my style. I still appreciate Dolce Amalfi though and I think that it was worth trying out. If you don’t have Sorrento and Amalfi lemons, don’t worry! Lemons of other varieties are fine too, such as Eureka or Lisbon lemons, widely grown in Florida and California for example.
