It is recommended to keep in a cool and dry place or refrigerated environment for longer storage.
The lemon Verdello (literally green-ish) is the only summer lemon of Sicily. Traditionally this particular florescence is obtained through cutting the tree water supply for around forty days starting in June. The resuming of irrigation results in a new blooming between August and October with fruits ready the coming summer. This technique is being gradually replaced by modern cultivars that do the summer flowering naturally.
