Como italiano que vive en California, me perdí algunos de los sabores más elementales de mi infancia. Como a la mayoría de los niños, yo era goloso y recuerdo haber gastado cada cambio extra comprando dulces en el camino hacia y desde la escuela o en el quiosco de helados del parque.
En aquel entonces, las tiendas italianas siempre luchaban por mantener el cambio en la caja, y se convirtió en una práctica común ir a la 'drogheria' o al 'bar' a comprar un trozo de focaccia o un pastelito y recibir dulces en lugar de cambio. Algunos de esos sabores infantiles han triunfado en todo el mundo: Tic-Tac, Nutella y Perugina son algunas de las marcas que puedes encontrar en casi cualquier supermercado de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, la gran mayoría de los dulces y golosinas italianas todavía se venden principalmente en el mercado interno italiano, donde continúan disfrutando de un gran éxito entre generación tras generación de niños italianos.
Cuando mis hijos empezaron a practicar deportes, decidí orientarlos hacia el fútbol, ya que era el único deporte que yo practicaba de alguna manera. Como hacen muchos padres, me ofrecí como entrenador y me pareció apropiado hacerlo ya que era italiano, y el fútbol es lo que hacen los italianos.
My wife and I first experienced these lemon drops while traveling along the Amalfi coast on two occasions many years ago. We loved them and brought back as many as our luggage would allow. We were so happy when we found them on Amazon’s web site and have been ordering the six pack every 3 or 4 months. Our after dinner treat is a lemon drop. About a year ago, we began to find that it was almost impossible to unwrap the candies, The paper would stick to the candy and, because it was transparent, pieces of paper would end up in our mouths. Also, the candies had lost that great lemon flavor that we were used to. When I called your company to find out what was happening with the lemon drops, and whether these obvious problems were being corrected. The person I spoke with was very apologetic and explained that heat in Amazon’s warehouses was causing the problem. He said the problem had been resolved and sent us a courtesy six pack to test. We were gratefully surprised that the problems had been resolved, the candy easily rolled out of the paper and the drops had that great lemony flavor we remembered. We will now order directly from the company as was suggested and we thank you for the courtesy packs.
All the lemon drop wraps are stuck to the candy. They are impossible to unwrap. Ordered3 order and 1 lemon and received 3 lemon and 1 orange. All lemon are unwrapable. Wasted my money.
I'm so glad I found you guys! I will be ordering this again from you!
My goodness! These are the best I've ever had!
These are the best! They have such a perfect flavor and then little bursts of intense orange here and there! I can't quit eating them!
