SICILIA Lemon Squeeze

SICILIA Lemon Squeeze is the iconic lemon-shaped plastic squeeze bottle that contains concentrated lemon (and in some SKUs, lime) juice and lemon oil. The SICILIA brand traces its origins to Germany where Gustav P. Hildebrandt developed the distinctive bottle and filling technique in the mid-20th century; the brand later established production operations in Italy (Messina) and expanded internationally. Today the brand is managed and bottled under the SIDAG group based in Switzerland, while many product listings and packaging indicate the finished product or fruit origin as "Product of Italy."

Manufacturing and origin notes: the lemons are sourced from Sicily/Italy and many consumer SKUs carry "Product of Italy" labeling; SIDAG (Switzerland) operates bottling and export operations for SICILIA, so production and packaging activities occur in both Italy and Switzerland depending on SKU and market. For that reason the product is best described as primarily made in Italy but also bottled/produced in Switzerland for some markets.

Ownership and distribution: SICILIA began as a German-founded brand (SIZILIA) and evolved into an international family-run group; SIDAG AG (Switzerland) is the operating company behind the modern SICILIA brand and handles bottling and global distribution. In the U.S. market the brand is imported and distributed by local importers (trade records show MB Import Inc., Clifton NJ, as an importer for SICILIA shipments), and private-label/retailer placements are common across grocery channels.
