Airport retailer Avolta has listed leading Argentine limoncello Iltico in their Ezeiza and Aeroparque duty free stores in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n


\nQuality and innovation are the watchwords of Iltico which has enjoyed significant sales growth since the end of the pandemic. The Iltico story began in 1998 when company founder Luis Silvetti sought to combine the traditional Limoncello recipe handed down by his Italian grandfather with the lemons from Tucuman in Northern Argentina. Production started in 1998 in a modest warehouse in Avellaneda in the province of Buenos Aires. However, in 2015, Nicolas Silvetti, the nephew of the founder decided to move production to a custom-built operation In Tucuman \u2013 the new bottling plant, built to the highest international standards has allowed the company to significantly increase production to meet increasing domestic market sales and at the same time meet the needs of international partners in different countries.<\/p>\n

Silvetti adds, \u201cArgentina is one of the biggest lemon producers in the world and the majority of people do not realise that we produce three times as many lemons as Italy. Tucuman is the centre of Argentine production and setting up our production centre here makes a lot of sense. Quality is of supreme importance for us and being very close to the lemon orchards, we are able to source the very best lemons for our Limoncello range. Limoncellos are still partially hand crafted and all our lemons are hand peeled. This method preserves essential oils of the fruit and avoids an undesired bitter aftertaste. We are also using the finest quality triple distilled grain alcohol. We feel that the exceptional quality of the lemons and the best quality alcohol is guaranteed to ensure the best experiences for all our consumers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Commercial and duty free director Agustin Liendo comments, \u201cWith the listing of the Iltico No 9 and No 18 brands in Avolta Argentina we are beginning the second stage of our growth in the duty free category and are actively looking for new listings in Latin America, North America, and the Caribbean. We know that consumers recognise the added value of our 750ml bottle and individual gift carton. Consumers are also interested to know that there is more than one type of Limoncello, it is great to explain to them that our No 9 is made with the peel of 9 Lemons and our no 18 is made from the peel of 18 lemons. Our initial target is Argentine travellers looking to take a gift to gamily and friends when they travel overseas, but we also know many international passengers are buying our limoncello as a souvenir of their stay in Argentina.<\/em><\/p>\n

As we grow in duty free our objective is to provide tasting opportunities to all potential consumers as well as make great cocktail suggestions to improve the overall drinking experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Liendo concludes, \u201cAs we increase our presence in duty free, we are also striving to increase the size of the domestic market, and we are looking to capitalise on our recent launch of RTDs in certain duty free markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
