In general, citrons are mostly used to make candied fruits, confectionery, marmalades, sauces for meat and fish dishes, as well as cedrata, a popular Italian soft drink. In Santa Maria del Cedro, the hub of citron growing, visitors will find specialised citron ice cream shops, bars serving citron cocktails, a citron festival, stores selling citron oil, and even a citron museum, the Museo del Cedro, which recounts the fruit"s history through sensory and olfactory activities. The fruit"s sweet-yet-lemony scent also lends itself to citron perfumes.
