Ventura Blood Orangecello by Mover and Shaker James Carling's Ventura Limoncello Company Earns Whom You Know's Highest Recommendation

When we use the gorgeous Lothantique Cote Bastide Orange Blossom Body Cream, we next want to drink something orange...and we have a new kind of favorite orange juice!

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we love knowing JAMES CARLING.
He is the rock star of citrus spirits!

VENTURA LIMONCELLO COMPANY, LLC's "Orangecello Blood Orange"served on the rocks with Aperol, some club soda and an orange slice was more than a savory ending to any meal (even breakfast). As a cocktail it is light, citrusy and refreshing. A brunch would be enhanced by the addition of an "Orangecello Blood Orange" cocktail. It is also quite satisfying as a dessert over French vanilla ice cream or gelato. 
I’ve never tried an Orangecello, but am SO glad I did! It’s just as amazing as Ventura’s Limoncello, but with the flavorful deliciousness of blood orange! The orange is such a great flavor and the color is bright and enticing as well. Try some in sparkling wine as a spiced-up mimosa, or just on its own to enjoy the amazing flavor!
Welcome to the family! Ventura makes this superb addition to their stable of Limoncellos, made with blood oranges. You’ll love the tang. It’s totally different from their Limoncello, yet made with the same care and brilliant approach to artisanal product. Use it as a digestif, or use it in a mixer for zing and flavor. I’m wondering if this counts as Vitamin C intake. So delicious and refreshing, your guests will love it. Have a quintessential sip of summer.

Ventura Limoncello Company
Conceived in Italy, Born in California

The Ventura Limoncello Company was started in April, 2007 with the goal of becoming the premier US produced Limoncello liqueur. Husband and wife team James Carling and Manuela Zaretti-Carling have been producing Limoncello for personal use for over 10 years, combining Manuela’s generations-old Italian family recipe with lemon varietals grown in Ventura County, CA.

Our handcrafted artisan process follows the traditional methods still used in Italy today. Citrus is individually selected from local Ventura growers direct from trees (no packing house fruit). Each piece is meticulously hand peeled. They are then infused in pure neutral distilled spirits until the oils are extracted for color and flavor.

Ventura County is the premier lemon growing region in the US and as we developed our product for the market, we worked with several local lemon growers in the county to source the lemons from. One grower’s family we work with has been farming in Ventura County since the 19th Century and first planted lemon trees in the area over 60 years ago.

Our goal is to have a majority of our vendors/ suppliers come from Ventura County and Southern CA, keeping the company and product as “SoCal” as possible. This includes everything from raw material suppliers to architects. Currently, our entire package including bottles, labels, tops, capsules and boxes are sourced from California companies.

We produce three style of liqueurs: Ventura Limoncello Originale, Ventura Limoncello Crema and Ventura Orangecello Blood Orange. Ventura Limoncello Originale has been America’s highest rated Limoncello five times at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and has won numerous medals in several competition over the years. . Ventura Orangecello Blood Orange was awarded double gold medal, best fruit liqueur at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Ventura Limoncello Crema won the gold at the LA Sip Awards in 2010. Traditionally served as an after dinner digestif, Ventura Limoncello liqueurs also make great cocktail mixers. Chefs also enjoy using our liqueurs in many dishes.

Ventura Limoncello liqueurs are available in 17 states across the USA (and DC). All locations that carry our brand are listed on our website. 

¨ Limoncello Originale was launched in February, 2008. Limoncello Crema was released in October, 2008. Orangecello Blood Orange was launched in April, 2011
