As the name suggests, tomatoes were not always red. In fact, the first ones to arrive in Italy were called "yellow apples" or "golden apples" and hence the term "pomo-doro".

If you are an adventurous foodie who likes to discover gastronomic treasures and loves street food, don't hesitate: Italy is your destination. The market, or mercato, is a way of life for Italians, so visiting them is essential to get a feel for the country. No matter which region you visit, town or city, inland or coastal, you will always find a street, square or covered market with stalls selling prepared food and local products. You can find markets specialising in gastronomy and, depending on the time of year, markets specialising in a product such as white truffles in Alba or nougat in Cremona, but most of the time sellers of clothes, household goods or antiques mingle with delicatessens, fishmongers or fruit sellers. A fun and colourful chaos that will instantly make you fall in love. If you are looking to immerse yourself in culinary traditions and taste authenticity, let yourself be conquered by Italian street food without fear or prejudice. Due to its extroverted character, climate and multicultural influences, the south of the country could be said to be a paradise for lovers of "street food" where pizza in different formats reigns supreme alongside fried foods of all kinds and sweet or savory doughnuts seasoned with the spices of each region. Enjoy fresh fish, fried, grilled, pickled or in salad, at the stalls you will find in ports and fishermen's markets along the entire coast of the country. If you don't like getting your hands dirty and don't want to miss a minute of exploring the wonders that the country has to offer, you will always find a "delicious invention" such as a piadina, focaccia, pizza, bread or fried or baked dough with the sausages and cheeses typical of each town or region. Those with a sweet tooth will fall for the creaminess of Italian ice cream, Sicilian cannoli, zeppoles (fritters), candied fruit, nougat and doughnuts. A whole delicious universe of ready-to-eat bites that is impossible to detail due to its extraordinary variety and peculiarities of each area and that make Italy a unique destination for lovers of street food.

We're sure you've fallen in love with the spectacular recipes that Marçal Horttigüela shares on his Instagram profile @marsal.gourmet .

Carbonara with artichokes . A recipe that will make you a success as a chef, in which Marçal makes cabonara with delicate slices of artichokes that he previously preserves.

Once you try them, you won't be able to live without them. These small, golden doughnuts have gone from being a humble staple food to a gourmet delight, perfect for snacking on or accompanying cheeses and cold cuts. There are many stories about their origins, but they all tell us about a product that was born in the Middle Ages from the scarcity of resources among the poorest classes, what we now call a recipe for making the most of it. But whether it was a monk or a humble mother looking for a way to feed her offspring or the leftover scraps from bakers, it is clear that taralli are a great invention! and they live up to the saying “make a virtue out of necessity.” In Italy they are also known as Grandma's Taralli or Noni's Taralli, as it was a recipe traditionally prepared by grandmothers and although the best-known taralli are those from Puglia, they were also prepared since ancient times in Naples or Sicily, today they are consumed and made throughout Italy.   Their main characteristic is that they are seasoned savoury doughnuts, cooked and then baked. Depending on the area, their ingredients or size may vary, so the Neapolitan ones are larger and made with butter compared to the smaller ones from Puglia, made with olive oil and seasoned with spices such as black pepper or fennel. Biribox, in its desire to bring quality Italian products to consumers, has in its shop the delicious taralli from Forno di Puglia, prepared with 99% raw materials from Puglia. The best way for Dolciaria Ambrosiana to celebrate Puglia and export its flavour to Spain and Portugal. Find them at Biribox in boxes of 10 units in two versions: Taralli Caserecci with Olive Oil and Taralli alla Pizza And as always, Biribox does not forget about celiacs, and you can now find in our store and as a brand new addition, the classic gluten-free taralli Fiore di Puglia But if you like to get into flour, here is the recipe for the famous “taralli de noni” Take note! Recipe: Ingredients: 375 ml of warm water 5 gr of baking powder 1 kg classic Caputo flour 200 ml Chablis type white wine 200 ml of extra virgin olive oil A teaspoon of dried fennel seeds or half a teaspoon of ground black pepper or pepperoncino A pinch of salt Preparation: Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Mix the flour with the wine, oil, fennel seeds or pepper and salt. You can use a mixer. Also add the water and yeast mixture. Work the dough until all the ingredients are well integrated. Form a ball and cover it with a cloth to let it rest for about 20 minutes. We make the doughnuts by forming churros by hand about 30 cm long, which we then cut and join the tips together, then roll each of the tips into small rings. In a pot with boiling water, cook the taralli for approximately 1 minute, until they float to the surface. Once cooked, remove from heat and drain on paper. Preheat the oven to 200ºC and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Ready!

Three easy, delicious, gluten-free recipes with all the flavor.

As experts in Italian food and on the occasion of #pizzaday, we want to debunk some false myths or popular beliefs about the most universal dish in Italian cuisine. The pizza is round. The round pizza is a macro-category that includes the queen of pizzas: the Neapolitan and its imitator, the American pizza, but in places like Rome, Genoa or Sicily the most popular is the pizza al taglio – literally “pizza by the slice”, made in rectangular trays and sold by the slice according to weight. The establishments usually have many flavours of pizza, normally with one or two ingredients, configured according to local tastes. Pizza alla Pala is another type of rectangular pizza that originated in Roman bakeries as a way to use up leftover bread dough. Bakers would roll out the dough lengthwise, top it with fresh toppings, and serve it in slices on a wooden paddle. Pizza always has mozzarella and tomato. Sfincione pizza is the most popular pizza in Sicily. Its name comes from the Sicilian language and its translation would be “sponge pizza” since its dough is higher than the Neapolitan one and it is quite similar to focaccia. It is characterized by never having mozzarella and is made only with tomato sauce and as additions, onion, anchovies, oregano and a little Sicilian cheese. And if you hate tomatoes... you'll love pizza bianca or white pizza, without tomato sauce but lots and lots of cheese. It's usually eaten in Rome, where it's known as pizza e fichi, but it's very popular all over the country. In Naples, pizza bianca is the name given to any pizza that doesn't have tomato, either in sauces or in slices or cherry tomatoes. Pizza is always made in the oven. Fried pizza or pan-fried pizza debunks the common belief that pizzas are always made in the oven. Pizza fritta, a classic Neapolitan street food, comes in many different shapes. For example, montanara is round and calzone is crescent-shaped, you could say they are similar to Spanish empanadas. Pizza al padellino, or “pan pizza” is typical of Turin and is a type of pizza that is baked in small, round trays. Delicious! Pizza makes you fat. Authentic Italian pizzas are nothing like the overstuffed pizzas from the big American chains where cheese and sauces overflow onto thick, pre-cooked dough. Traditional pizzas such as Neapolitan, Sicilian, or Roman pinsas are made with much lighter doughs and are the result of natural fermentation processes. Ingredients such as tomato sauces, cheeses and, from there, a host of raw materials that sneak in can turn an innocent pizza into a calorie bomb. It's complicated to make pizza at home. Most of us turn to supermarket pizza bases, but making our own easy homemade pizza recipe is a much simpler process than we think, especially if we have the right ingredients, especially flour, since not just any flour will do. At Biribox you can find the special Caputo flour for making pizza and we assure you that it won't fail! Ingredients: 1 kilogram of Caputo pizza flour 1 teaspoon fine salt 2½ cups warm water 2 tablespoons of olive oil 30 grams of fresh yeast Elaboration 1. Mix the warm water with the fresh yeast in a bowl. To make a homemade pizza dough you can easily use this type of yeast or make a pizza dough with dry yeast, both are valid. If you prefer dry yeast, you should mix it with the flour and if, on the other hand, you prefer fresh yeast, it is essential to mix it with warm water. 2. Once you have mixed the yeast with the water, add the two tablespoons of oil. Mix well to combine all the pizza ingredients. 3. Before the mixture cools, add the flour and salt to a large bowl, forming a volcano shape. Pour the mixture into the centre. Knead well until you notice that the dough stops sticking to your hands and you can handle it without problems. 4. When you have the fluffy pizza dough ready, you will need to shape it into a long tube and cut it into 4 portions which you will shape into a ball. 5. Cover the dough with a clean, dry cloth. Let it rest for 45 minutes. You will see that, little by little, it will begin to rise until it doubles in volume. 6. After the appropriate time has passed, sprinkle a little flour on a table. Now you should spread it with your hands, stretching it from the center to the sides, giving it a circular shape. If you have a rolling pin, you can also use it to make the dough thinner. It's tomato sauce time and good news! At Biribox we have the favourites of Italian pizza masters. Mutti Sauces In our store you can find everything from peeled tomatoes, ideal for making an excellent homemade tomato sauce like our grandmothers used to make, to ready-made sauces like Aromatic Pizza Sauce or Passata Sauce , which will be perfect on your homemade pizza. And if you want to give it a final spicy touch... we recommend the Gocce Piccanti Olive Oil from Calabria Or a gourmet touch with Tartufi Jimmy 's truffle oils From Biribox we wish you a happy #pizzaday and we invite you to celebrate it with a pizza, whether round or square, pan-fried or baked, with or without tomato. Always delicious!

We cut the guanciale into strips and cook it in a pan, adding a piece of chilli. When ready, add the wine, let it boil for two minutes, remove the meat and set it aside, leaving the liquids in the pan. We boil the pasta, since the sauce is almost ready. While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the finely chopped tomatoes in the same pan where we cooked the guanciale pieces and let them dissolve and thicken until forming a homemade fried tomato sauce. We remove the chilli and add the meat, sautéing everything together to combine the flavours. Drain the pasta well and serve it on plates. Add a spoonful of grated pecorino cheese to each plate and cover with the Amatriciana sauce. At the table we can finish the dish with a splash of spicy oil and a little more grated pecorino cheese. Without a doubt, a dish that will be a hit. Alla tavola!

The charming little town of Gragnano, in the province of Naples, is known worldwide as the capital of Italian pasta. There are several reasons that explain the success of the pastas made in this area of ​​Campania, but to summarise, there are two reasons: geographical and historical. Gragnano and its fertile plateaus are in a privileged climatic position, nestled between the Lattari mountains and the sea. The land enjoys a mild, stable and slightly humid climate all year round, perfect for growing high-quality wheat and allowing the pasta to dry gradually, which is essential for determining the colour, elasticity and firmness of the pasta when cooked. The water, so important in the production of pasta, comes from the mountains and springs with extraordinary purity in fountains and springs that feed the mills and factories. Historically, Gragnano has always been linked to wheat, its name is derived from the Latin word “grain”. The art of making pasta has been handed down in this land from generation to generation and certain techniques are still crucial today to obtain a quality product. What makes Gragnano pasta unique? In addition to the quality of the grain, the water and the careful drying, already mentioned, the entirely artisanal production process is key to what has earned Gragnano pasta a PGI seal, Protected Geographical Indication. The dough is made from durum wheat semolina and water from local springs and is kneaded using a traditional method that results in a homogeneous and elastic dough, but it is in the cutting of the pasta that we find its main difference compared to other areas of Italy. Once the dough is obtained, it is passed through "matrices" that are exclusively made of bronze, a technique and material that gives the pasta a unique rough surface that gives it the ability to absorb and integrate sauces. Drying is carried out with extreme care, controlling the temperature and humidity at all times for a period of between 6 and 60 hours and with several cycles of hot air ventilation. Packaging must be carried out in the producing companies, or at the production site, within twenty-four hours of production, to avoid moisture loss. Biribox, in its quest to bring the best of Italian cuisine to Spanish consumers, brings from Gragnano “28 pastai”, a brand that brings together 28 artisan producers with faces and stories that go back several generations. Seven reasons to choose 28 Pastai Gragnano.

Zero pesticides and glyphosate : Seven out of 20 pasta brands contain glyphosate, a herbicide that is harmful to health. Ensuring a good and healthy plate of pasta is one of 28 Pastai's missions! Blockchain-certified supply chain: Each package of pasta contains a QR code that allows you to know the origin of the grain and check the temperatures and drying times of the pasta. A digestible pasta that is produced in a way that benefits from the gluten network that retains starch. The result is a healthier pasta with a lower glycemic index.

To understand the importance that Italians attach to a good cup of coffee, we have to go back centuries. Although the origin of coffee is in Africa, it was the Italians, and specifically the Venetian merchants, who were the first to introduce the first coffee beans to Europe around the 16th century. This exotic product was initially called “qahwa”, meaning invigorating, and quickly spread, causing a sensation. A couple of centuries later , the first coffee shop in Europe opened in 1720 in Venice's St. Mark's Square. The famous "Caffé Florian" is still open to the public today and is considered one of the oldest in the world, as well as a must-see if you travel to the city of canals. The Italians are also responsible for the first coffee machines , from the primitive moka pot to the first steam espresso machines. A technology that demonstrates their deep knowledge of coffee beans and the constant search to extract their maximum potential to achieve the perfect cup. Coffee culture is so deeply rooted in the lives of Italians that you could say it is part of their DNA and is present in every home and at every hour of the day, an excuse to get together, a coffee to share, to relax or get active. It is really a lifestyle that is learned within the family and is a legacy that is passed down from generation to generation, always faithful to tradition and without paying attention to trends. But… what makes Italian coffee unique and how is it made? These coffees are made with top quality ingredients, Italy is one of the main importing countries in the world. They select the best coffee at origin and normally work with three types: Arabica, Robusta or blend. The way you prepare your coffee is also a key to success. The coffee must always be freshly ground, espresso coffee "at the moment", the true Italian way of enjoying it so that it does not oxidise and lose any of its organoleptic properties. Third point to consider: grinding. Grinding too finely could result in a coffee that is too strong, short and bitter, but not too coarse either, as it could lose intensity. The choice of coffee maker is also important, but if the coffee is good, well roasted, freshly ground and made with mineral water or any other water that is tasteless, the result will be good. Italian espresso is usually served in a porcelain or glass cup, but always short, around 40 ml. In a visual analysis, the great particularity of a good espresso is its 3-4 mm layer of crema, with a thick velvety texture, walnut or hazelnut in colour, with reddish or slightly brown tones depending on the type of coffee used in the preparation. In the mouth, the body should be in balance with the cream, aroma and flavour of the coffee, and should be full, dense and complete. A good espresso is neither light nor watery. Forget about sugar, a good Italian espresso is naturally sweet and does not need sugar or milk to be enjoyed. Only the perfect authentic Italian espresso achieves the exact balance of all the flavours and aromas, creating a unique sensory experience that in Italy is enjoyed in a single sip. It is true that there are other ways to drink coffee in Italy : The five most popular ways to drink coffee in Italy Spain, so rich in gastronomy and culinary traditions, is far from the coffee culture of Italy or other countries as close as Portugal or France. Many catering businesses pay little attention to the coffee service, not realizing that it is the last taste left in the mouths of their customers when they visit their establishment. Today, thanks to modern coffee machines and successful capsule coffees, there is no excuse not to serve a good coffee to your customers. Choose Italian coffee, it will not disappoint you, your customers will appreciate it and you will probably increase your clientele as the number of "coffee lovers" who know how to appreciate quality is increasing. Biribox brings to Spain two of the most famous and beloved coffee brands in Italy in different varieties, blends and formats: Pellini and Borbone You no longer have an excuse not to offer your customers one of the best coffees in the world and when they ask you what coffee you have, you can answer with satisfaction: "I have a good Italian coffee."

The arrival of panettone in supermarkets and shops announces the proximity of Christmas. In Spain, the number of fans of this Christmas sweet is increasing, so much so that one could speak of a "bom del Panettone" in the last ten years, becoming a serious competitor to the Spanish Roscón de Reyes. A sweet that also arouses passions in Latin America, where it arrived at the hands of Italian immigrants in the 20th century. As a curiosity, we will tell you that in Peru it is sold all year round and is not missing in its Fiestas Patrias. Panettone (without Italian spelling since 2022 the RAE has assimilated it to Castilian) is a sweet bread made from double fermentation dough whose origin is We find it in the Lombardy region, specifically in the city of Milan. The origin of panettone is uncertain but there are two legends, both with a Toni involved and set at the end of the 15th century. One, the most popular, tells that back in 1490, the Duke of Milan had organised a large banquet at his house and his cook, in a twist of bad luck, burned the dessert he was planning to serve. Toni, one of the kitchen assistants, had baked a loaf with the remains of the dessert ingredients for his own consumption and suggested to the cook to serve it as the final touch to the banquet. The 'dessert' was so popular that it was christened Toni's bread, two words that led to the current panettone. The other, much more romantic story, has as its protagonist a young man from the Milanese aristocracy in love with the daughter of a pastry chef who, in order to win the young woman's heart, pretended to be a pastry apprentice and introduced himself to the father under the name of Toni. During his work, he invented a sugared bread with candied fruit and citrus aromas that was a great success in the pastry shop, a bread that everyone asked for like Toni's bread, hence panettone. But let's get to the heart of the matter: What is it about panettone that makes it so irresistible and how do you recognise a good panettone? A good panettone should have a large, golden dome overflowing from the "jacket", demonstrating proper fermentation and baking. The ingredients of the traditional recipe only contain flour, eggs, butter, sugar, sourdough, raisins and candied fruit. The crumb should be airy and fluffy, soft and delicate with a buttery and orange flavor. An increasing number of companies and families are choosing panettone as a Christmas gift for clients, friends and family . With them in mind, Biribox brings to its store, in a box of six units for a limited time and while supplies last, one of the most famous panettone and loved by food critics: Casa Losito panettone.

In Italy, as in Spain, traditions persist to celebrate All Saints' Day "Giorno dei Morti" and All Souls' Day "Ognissanti", November 1 and 2. Although the rise of Halloween from America has greatly changed customs in Italy, many families still maintain ancient customs that have their origins in remote European pagan cults and that Christianity later adopted. And as in all good customs, gastronomy plays a very important role, either to bring families together around a table and remember those who are no longer with us, or as a gift from the "beyond" for those who can enjoy it. Popular legend has it that the deceased visited their relatives and brought gifts for the children. During the long journey from the afterlife, it was customary to set the tables with delicacies. Today, in some Italian regions, leftovers are still left on the table all night, or the table is set with an extra place setting. There are countless typical dishes and sweets prepared for this holiday throughout Italy, most of which are made with seasonal products such as chestnuts, pomegranates, raisins, chickpeas or broad beans. Simple, centuries-old recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation but are no less delicious for that. At Biribox, in our desire to bring Italian cuisine closer to the Spanish public, we have selected: 10 typical Italian dishes and sweets to celebrate All Saints' Day. This chestnut risotto is a typically autumnal recipe and is prepared throughout Italy. Chickpea and pumpkin soup , a medieval recipe that varies greatly depending on the region Canavesa Soup , a very old recipe of Piedmontese origin. It is a soup made from cooked cabbage Favette dei morti (dead beans) - biscuits made mainly with almonds and enriched with different ingredients depending on the region. Frutti di Martorana , typical of markets and fairs, Fiere dei Morti, in Sicily. A fruit made from almond paste. Taralli with icing sugar. Crozzi 'i mottu (bones of the dead) are very typical of different regions and of Sicily, especially. In Sardinia or Liguria, children received bread, beans, almonds, raisins, pomegranates and other autumn products. Pupi ri Zuccaru, sugar dolls, knights and peasant women representing the dead, fill the markets in Sicily at this time. 'Pan dei morti' , a sweet made with flour, biscuits, almonds, raisins and figs. Sweet pupatelli, another Sicilian sweet where almonds are the protagonist. Happy All Saints' Day. Let's toast and eat good Italian food for all those who are no longer here and let's not forget that true death is oblivion.  

There is probably no inhabitant of the planet Earth who does not know or has not tried pizza, the Italian dish par excellence along with pasta, but if we ask about pinsa… doubts begin to arise. Although both dishes are similar, there are several things that differentiate them, but we can tell you in advance: the secret is mainly in the dough. Both names share an etymological root, hence their similarity, pizza and pinsa derive from the Latin “pinsere” which means to crush or press, since in their preparation the dough is pressed and stretched but in the case of pizza it is made round, and oval in the case of pinsa. Another thing that differentiates them is their origin. Although they both share remote ancestors that are none other than the flatbreads that have been made in the Mediterranean and the Middle East since before the Roman Empire, it could be said that pizza, as we know it today, is Neapolitan and pinsa is Roman. The modern pinsa has experienced an incredible boom in recent years and has threatened the reign of pizza since it was born in 2001 in Rome when businessman Corrado di Marco invented it by adding rice flour to a mixture of soy and wheat flour that he had been working on for years. A successful formula that soon spread from Rome to the whole of Italy and from there to the rest of the world. Both doughs serve as a base on which to combine different ingredients, but it is the shape and the dough that differentiate them at first glance, with wheat flour being the main ingredient in pizza, especially high-strength flours with more protein and more gluten that allow for longer fermentations. The pinsa, besides being oval, has a higher and lighter dough due to its long fermentation periods, which are left to rest for more than 72 hours. Its high water content, together with the use of the best flours and sourdough, give it high digestibility. Another reason that explains the success of pinsas in the restaurant industry is the convenience of baking, since a dome oven like that used for pizzas is not necessary to achieve a perfect result. The future will tell whether one day the pinsa will put an end to the reign of the pizza, while we hope to have cleared up doubts and whet appetites. As experts in Italian gastronomy, we offer you a piece of advice: to make authentic Italian pizzas at Biribox, we recommend the famous Caputo flour , the favourite of the best Italian pizza makers. and Mutti Tomato for your pizza and pinsa bases.

With the arrival of autumn, the first truffles arrive in Italian kitchens, a product highly appreciated by gourmet palates around the world due to its deep flavour and earthy aroma. Its market value can reach astonishing figures, due to its scarcity, as it is a rare fungus that cannot be cultivated and arises naturally, developing in a symbiotic mycorrhizal relationship with some species of trees, such as chestnuts, walnuts, holm oaks or oaks. Italy, like Spain, is one of the main truffle producing countries in the world due to its special climatic conditions. Cold, dry and windy areas, within a Mediterranean climate, are factors that make these precious gastronomic treasures appear. The Italian truffle is especially typical in the areas of Piedmont and Umbria where different traditional fairs and markets are held in the autumn months, a gastronomic trip that we recommend. There are many Italian recipes that use truffles as an ingredient, whether fresh in slices or grated, or in sauces such as the famous tartufata sauce typical of central Italy. Any dish, however simple, can be enhanced with a touch of truffle... pasta, risotto, pizza, burgers, eggs or even as an accompaniment to bread or with cold cuts and cheeses. But in the world of truffles, the white truffle from Piedmont is undoubtedly the “queen of truffles” worldwide. Every year, the best tables in the world compete for the few white truffles that the earth produces in the autumn, and their price can reach €6,000 per kilo, ten times more than the equally famous black truffle.

Balsamic vinegar has gone from being a product only appreciated by gourmets to filling supermarket shelves and becoming the favorite dressing in many homes in our country, but... is balsamic vinegar all dark and sweet vinegar? The answer is undoubtedly a resounding NO. The authentic balsamic vinegar of Modena is a must of grapes from the vineyards of the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia that is reduced and aged in wooden barrels. An artisanal process called “ricalzo” that requires knowledge and a lot of time for the acetic fermentation to take place, for your information the 'extravecchio' aceto, the most expensive and coveted, undergoes an aging process of 25 years! The result of so much care is a dense syrup, very little acid, aromatic, with many nuances of flavor and an intense dark color. Most of the balsamic vinegars that we find in supermarkets are fake, they are not from Modena, nor are they aged in wood and have a multitude of ingredients added to simulate authentic Italian vinegars, such as sugars, other vinegars and artificial colorings. and, of course, they can't be worth €2! To avoid fraud and protect this treasure of Italian gastronomy, an official Guardianship Consortium was created and rules were established to be able to market the product as “balsamic vinegar of Modena” as are the origin of the grapes, which must be from Modena or Reggio Emilia. , and the mandatory fermentation in wooden barrels for a minimum of 60 days. The Guardianship Consortium established two guarantee seals: DOP (protected designation of origin) and IGP (Protected Geographical Indication), with the DOP being the highest quality and certifying that they are acetos that follow the authentic traditional process, with grape must without reduced with other ingredients and can age for up to 25 years. PGI vinegars certify the origin and a percentage of authentic balsamic vinegar in their ingredients. A seal of quality but it is important to say that it groups together acetos of very different qualities. As experts in Italian gastronomy, these are the things you have to take into account when choosing a good Aceto di Modena: 1-Look for the DOP or IGP quality seal , the origin must be Modena or Reggio Emilia. 2-The price , be wary of cheap acetos, we are talking about a gourmet product. 3-Look at the percentage of authentic modena balsamic vinegar that the product contains. 4-The fewer ingredients , the better! The authentic one is made only with must and is not diluted with other vinegars, juices or sweetened with sugars. 5- Aging , the longer the time, the higher the quality.

Wines, cheeses, oil, seafood, fish, fruits, vegetables... and pistachios! Yes, pistachios. The culinary and economic value of the Italian pistachio is such that it is also known as “the Sicilian green gold” since it is on the northern island of Sicily where they have been cultivated since ancient times, probably introduced by the Arabs during the domination of the region in the 9th century. The small town of Bronte, near Catania, is known for being the capital of pistachio. The climate, rich volcanic soil and altitude of the Bronte region give them a distinctive flavor and texture. Additionally, they are traditionally grown and harvested by hand, ensuring exceptional quality. These characteristics make Sicilian pistachios considered the best in the world. There are many culinary qualities of this Sicilian green gold, from sweet to savory preparations. If you are planning a trip to Sicily you cannot miss trying dishes made with pistachio such as: Pistachio Cannoli: Delicious crispy dough tubes filled with a mixture of ricotta and chopped pistachios.
