Last October, on the first day of Sukkot, when I opened the white etrog box I"d bought in Berlin from a Chabad rabbi, the citron inside was still perfect. After three months, it hadn"t lost any of its marvellous scent. By autumn, the Calabrian farmers are already preparing for the next season, but, Adduci said, "we feel incredibly proud to know that our fruits have reached the homes of hundreds of families around the world."
