Crema de Limonchelo Tenis, a smooth flavour with Mediterranean character
Crema de Limonchelo Tenis is a creamy liqueur with clear Mediterranean inspiration, produced in Monforte del Cid, Alicante. It combines the fresh profile of lemon with a soft, well-integrated dairy base, achieving a balanced and harmonious result. The outcome is a silky-textured liqueur, easy to drink and with a moderate alcohol content of 17% vol., designed to be enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
At Licorea, we value this type of production because it reflects an approachable way of understanding liqueurs. It does not aim for unnecessary complexity or artificial effects. Instead, it focuses on flavour, balance and consistency in every glass. This limoncello cream is particularly appealing to those who enjoy sweet liqueurs but look for genuine freshness and a clean finish on the palate.
Origin and production in Alicante
Crema de Limonchelo Tenis is made in the town of Monforte del Cid, in the province of Alicante, an area with a long-standing tradition in spirits and citrus-based products. The dry, sun-filled climate has a direct influence on the aromatic quality of the lemons used, providing controlled acidity and a natural, clearly recognisable profile.
The production process starts with a lemon-infused alcohol base, to which a carefully treated dairy cream is added to ensure stability, smoothness and uniformity. Achieving the right balance between alcohol, sugar and dairy elements is essential to obtain a dense texture without a heavy mouthfeel.
This liqueur contains milk and milk derivatives, including lactose, an important consideration for those with intolerances or allergies. The presence of milk not only defines its texture but also softens the citrus character and rounds out the overall profile.
Alcohol strength and drinking style
At 17% vol., this liqueur sits comfortably within a range suited to relaxed enjoyment. It does not seek alcoholic intensity, but rather balance. This strength makes it ideal for long after-dinner moments or for those who prefer softer, aromatic liqueurs.
This style of cream is best enjoyed chilled. Served straight from the fridge, it gains freshness and highlights its citrus character. It can also be served over ice, although larger cubes are recommended to avoid excessive dilution of the texture.
Ideal moments to enjoy it
Crema de Limonchelo Tenis works particularly well as an after-dinner liqueur. It pairs nicely with simple desserts, fresh fruit or dishes based on biscuits and cream. It is also well suited to informal gatherings where an easy-to-share liqueur is appreciated.
In summer, it becomes especially appealing. Its refreshing profile and creamy texture make it an attractive alternative to heavier or more alcoholic liqueurs. In winter, served well chilled, it offers an interesting contrast after rich meals.
Versatility in the kitchen and simple cocktails
Beyond being enjoyed on its own, this limoncello cream can be used in straightforward culinary preparations. It works well as an addition to homemade desserts, cold creams, or even as an aromatic touch in coffees and ice creams.
In simple mixes, it can be combined with crushed ice or a splash of cold milk to further soften the profile. It does not require complex combinations to shine, as its balance speaks for itself.
A distinctive cream within its category
Within our selection, Crema de Limonchelo Tenis stands out for its local origin and its honest, restrained profile. It is one of the few limoncello creams produced in the province of Alicante, something we particularly value at Licorea.
We believe it offers something different for those already familiar with classic cream liqueurs and who are looking for a genuine citrus note, well integrated and easy to enjoy. It is an appealing choice for lovers of sweet liqueurs who want to move beyond the usual options without overcomplicating things.
Storage and serving recommendations
To preserve all its qualities, it is recommended to store the bottle in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best kept chilled and consumed within a reasonable period to fully enjoy its texture and aroma.
Gently shaking before serving helps maintain the cream’s homogeneity. Serving it in a small glass allows its density to be appreciated and helps keep the temperature under control.
This limoncello cream is a clear example of how a simple, well-crafted product with local identity can deliver a pleasant and consistent experience, designed to be enjoyed without unnecessary embellishments.
