Sicily in the world

Sicily is an extraordinary land, rich in history, tradition and culture.

Its Mediterranean climate and beautiful landscapes make it a destination for many tourists from all over the world; those who visit for the first time are fascinated, enchanted!

Sicilian culture is the child of many foreign dominations (Greek, Arab, Norman, Spanish and others…), which can be seen in the architecture of the great palazzi, in the Sicilian dialect, in its customs and in its cooking…

Sicilian cooking in particular is renowned around the world: exquisite dishes that reflect a rich popular tradition, but also a mark of quality for the raw ingredients at their heart: spices and aromatic herbs, citrus fruit, nuts, good fish…

Each dish often has several variants, closely tied to the local area; indeed, it is not unusual for the same dish, even with the same name, to have a different aroma and appearance depending on which part of Sicily you are visiting; other recipes, on the other hand, are very local – just think of Palermo's “panelle”.

Sicily is also famous worldwide for its excellent grapes, used to make high-quality wines and sparkling wines, and for its olive groves, which produce a wonderfully fragrant extra virgin olive oil.

Sicily is the motherland of the Sicilian cannolo and Sicilian cassata, made with delicious sheep's milk ricotta, of almond paste, Martorana fruit, Iris, granita, gelato and arancini/arancine (depending on whether you are in Catania or Palermo).

Our “mission” is to make typical Sicilian products known and enjoyed around the world, shipping them from our workshop straight to your home.
