SICILY
WEEK NINETEEN
TUESDAY 3 TO THURSDAY 5 NOVEMBER
About Sicily
Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is unsurprisingly rich in history and tradition. Sicilian cuisine is an expression of a culinary art that has developed since ancient times, and it is closely linked to the island’s historical, cultural and religious events. Cooking traditions from the Greeks, Arabs and Normans blend with those of Spain and North Africa, creating a fabulous melting pot of Mediterranean flavours and unique dishes. Local delicacies include arancini, cannoli, pistacchio di Bronte, almonds and all things citrus. The dry, warm climate and abundant sunshine are perfect for viticulture. The most widely produced wines are fruity, medium-bodied reds made from Nero d’Avola and juicy, peachy whites made from Grillo. Other varieties include Frappato, Nerello Mascalese, Carricante, Catarratto, Inzolia, Nerello Cappuccio, Alicante, Syrah and Moscato.
