BRAND HERITAGE – THE ORIGINAL SINCE 1934:

The Icon:

Founded in 1934, Lemonsoda has grown into a globally recognised brand, synonymous with quality and genuineness, beloved by generations. Introduced by Milan-based company S.A.G.A. (Società Acque Gasate ed Affini), owned by Ettore Casella, drawing inspiration from traditional Italian lemonades and the vibrant flavours of Sicilian citrus fruits.

Market Leader:

Lemonsoda is the market leader in Italian lemon sodas. The brand expanded with Oransoda (orange) and Pelmosoda (grapefruit) in the following years. After being part of Campari Group (1999-2017), the brand was sold to Royal Unibrew in 2017 for 80 million euros.

The Philosophy:

Con tanta frutta italiana e acqua minerale frizzante delle fonti di Crodo: avere sete non è mai stato così divertente.  (With lots of Italian fruit and sparkling mineral water from Crodo springs: being thirsty has never been so fun).

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL:

Solo Limoni Siciliani (Only Sicilian Lemons):

12% total lemon content:

9.7% lemon juice from concentrate (concentrated Sicilian lemon flavour)

2.3% lemon juice with pulp (texture, natural cloudiness, authenticity)

Sicily’s favourable climate with warm sun and nutrient-rich soil ensures these lemons develop intense, unmistakable flavour, celebrated for their freshness and unparalleled aroma. This commitment to only Sicilian lemons guarantees authentic Italian character.

Acqua Minerale Naturale “Fonti di Crodo-Lisiel”:

Mineral water sourced from Crodo Springs—an ancient, pristine source known for its lightness and purifying properties. The same water source used since 1934, providing the perfect base for showcasing Sicilian lemons.

Natural Lemon Pulp:

The presence of lemon pulp on the bottom is due to the natural components of the product —a sign of authenticity and real fruit content. The pulp gives Lemonsoda its characteristic natural cloudiness and texture.

No colourant, no preservative —just real ingredients: Sicilian lemons, Crodo mineral water, natural lemon aroma, sugar. Lemonsoda is committed to natural ingredients, free from artificial additives and colourants.
