Welcome to the forum, thereseo. I don’t know if I can be much help, but I thought your question deserved a response. Here are some ideas:

Fox and Obel claims that “Even in a climactically challenged locale like Chicago, rare and exotic fruits and vegetables tempt the imagination year round.”

Caputo’s Produce has many Italian produce specialties and unique citrus fruits, including one called “Limone Dulce”. You do have to register to browse their online shop, but it's free.

This article has bad news about the availability of amalfi lemons in the US. But, you can at least get some authentic Limoncello!
Binny’s offers the Caravella Limoncello mentioned in the article.

Thank you GS!

I tell you, I just want to eat them raw or maybe pickle them but I can't find them anywhere. I'll try calling F&O and Caputos and see if they stock them. I appreciate the suggestion as everyone seems to have read the post (probably looking for them too) and yet no one knows where to find them. If i find them anywhere I will post.

Regards,

Therese
