Nonna Assunta
Handcrafted Welsh-Italian Liqueur
35 miles from Forage Farm Shop
Every month, we shine a spotlight on a producer whose passion, craftsmanship and story deserve to be celebrated. This August, we’re delighted to feature Nonna Assunta Limoncello, a premium Welsh brand inspired by generations of Italian family tradition.
Handcrafted in small batches in Swansea, these beautifully balanced liqueurs bring together authentic Italian recipes and Welsh artisan craftsmanship.
A Family Recipe Passed Down Through Generations
The story of Nonna Assunta began long before the business officially launched in 2024. Founder Christian Di Iulio grew up with a treasured family recipe for limoncello, passed down by his grandmother, Assunta, who was born near Sorrento, Italy.
For more than 20 years, the family made limoncello for friends and relatives, who encouraged them to share it with a wider audience. Eventually, that dream became reality, and Nonna Assunta Liqueurs was born.
Traditional Methods, Natural Ingredients
Every bottle of Nonna Assunta Limoncello is made by hand using traditional methods.
The team carefully hand peels every lemon, orange and lime before producing each batch in small quantities. They never rush the process, allowing the natural citrus flavours to shine.
By using only natural ingredients, the finished liqueurs are fresh, vibrant and wonderfully smooth.
More Than Just Limoncello
Although the original limoncello remains at the heart of the business, the range continues to grow.
Today, customers can also enjoy:
- Orange Cello
- Lime Cello
- Lemon Spritz
- Orange Spritz
- Lime Spritz
The ready-to-drink spritz cans are perfect for summer gatherings, picnics and celebrations, offering a refreshing twist on classic Italian flavours.
Seasonal Specials Worth Waiting For
As Christmas approaches, Nonna Assunta releases a very special limited edition. Their hand-foraged Gower Sloeberry and Arancello Liqueur has developed a loyal following and regularly sells out. Made in limited quantities, it’s a festive favourite that customers look forward to every year.
Crafted with Sustainability in Mind
Quality and sustainability sit at the heart of everything Nonna Assunta creates.
The business focuses on natural ingredients, small-batch production and responsible practices throughout the production process. This careful approach helps preserve both flavour and authenticity while reducing unnecessary waste.
Why Nonna Assunta Is a Perfect Fit for Forage
At Forage Farm Shop, we champion independent producers with genuine stories and exceptional products.
Nonna Assunta shares those values perfectly. Its premium liqueurs combine authentic Italian heritage with Welsh craftsmanship, creating something truly distinctive for our customers.
We’re also looking forward to future collaborations, including tasting events and seasonal celebrations that allow customers to discover the range for themselves.
