Typical Products of the Sicily Region

Typical Sicilian products online: which ones?

Ah Sicily. Every time you think about it, there is a sigh, a veil of nostalgia for not being there at that moment. In any case, we have all thought about Sicily in our lives. For many, it remains one of the destinations to visit at least once in their lives. A region without half measures, daughter of Magna Graecia. Here everything is brought to the nth power. Emotions, moods, exasperations are typically Sicilian. And we don't need films with Marcello Mastroianni or Giancarlo Giannini to remind us, not even the fascinating and more aristocratic images of Luchino Visconti's Leopard. A realistic cross-section of Sicily is the epic film by Baarìa by Oscar winner Giuseppe Tornatore.

Sicily is “Solemarevento”. Yes, because that is the only way we must consider it, as a whole. The explosion of a nature that, like the Sicilians, is not satisfied. What is surprising every time you set foot in Sicily is the light, if you arrive during the day, or the wind, if you arrive in the evening. In any case, Sicily transports you to a world that goes beyond the imaginary and, every time, tells new visions of beauty.

Sicily must be visited not only with your eyes open but, also, with your nostrils wide open. Its iridescent scents tell of the Mediterranean stains that line the sea, the scents of salt that emerged in the large salt pans of Marsala and Nubia, the sweet and gentle orange blossom that covers the Catania area and the enchanting Ribera valley. Agrigento is tinged with white during spring, cloaking the ancient Greek stones with the white of almond blossoms as soon as they blossom. Etna that has the spicy scent of sulfur and flint. The brooms, the slug and the wild carrot flowers of the Ennesi and Nissene dunes. The scents of musts from the areas of Alcamo and the Trapani hinterland

Typical Sicilian products

Sicily is a world heritage site for its offer of art and culture of all time. All ancient peoples have left a mark on its surface: Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Normans... This has made Sicily an incredible treasure chest of unique and rare works. Cooking and the production of raw materials in agriculture have also been positively affected. A meltingpot of scents, flavors and colors on the plate. Let's think only of the Sicilian caponata or the more Arabian couscous that has made the seaside town of San Vito Lo Capo an international center for this ancient and at the same time so contemporary dish.

Sicily is made up of a series of extraordinary territories that it will be difficult to list completely. The east side has in its volcano the most influential reality also for the conditioning of the climate and the lands connected to it. Today, Etna wines are experiencing a time of great consideration at an international level. There are many wineries that have transferred their detached offices to the ridges of the volcano that process the Catania grapes. But from Etna just below there is one of the most fascinating coasts in the entire region: Taormina, Giardini Naxos, Letojanni and up to Messina.

On the east side of Etna the oranges of Santa Venerina, on the west side the green gold, or the Pistachio di Bronte PDO. The farther you go from the great volcano to the south, the closer you get to the large areas of Catania's citrus groves. The areas of PGI red orange are those that only Sicily can produce. Lentini, Carlentini, Palagonia, Sortino, Solarino, Floridia have the intense green color of orange groves and from autumn they turn yellow-green. Oranges, tangerines, cedars and lemons.

Towards Avola, the vineyards of Nero D'Avola and the mythical Avola almonds open up, which are used, together with those of Noto, in the best pastry shops around the world. You get to touch the tip of Portopale and the beaches of the Sea of Currents that divide the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas. These are lands dedicated to the production of cherry tomatoes that breathe the sea and are full of sweetness and flavor. Pachino DOP Datterini and Cherry Tomatoes.

Then going north you arrive in Ispica with its very sweet new IGP carrots. Further up, the romantic city of Modica, which counts among its products recognized all over the world the chocolate of Modica, raw, unconcated, which takes up an ancient tradition of local pastry coming from Bourbon merchants who had known the Americas.

You go back from Modica and arrive in the northeastern interior of Sicily to Giarratana where you can find an extraordinary large onion that is preferred, for its sweetness and pleasure, in compotes, salads or raw preparations. Then the large extensions of vineyards in Vittoria and Chiaramonte Gulfi that produce excellent red wines.
