In several articles, we have narrated the stories, evolutions and differences from province to province of numerous typical Sicilian dishes including cannoli, granita, artisanal gelato, arancina, sfincia and much more. If you missed them, you can always take a look at our "Typical Products" column.

Why did we decide to tell you about these delicacies? Aside from being too good not to share, we cannot fail to take into consideration that hundreds of tourists (who every year land in our wonderful Sicily during their journey in search of relaxation and adventure) in addition to the sun and the sea, really want some great food!

This is the famous Food and Wine Tourism, that is that journey aimed at discovering and treasuring local culture and a sense of the place through food (and drink!). The close-knit bond that exists between culture, tourism and food and wine has now been highlighted by the World Tourism Organization itself which diligently states that "this tourist practice allows the traveller to come into contact with the culture of the place he is visiting in a more active and engaging way thanks to the "medium" of food."

Today in particular, and in contrast to the topic of street food previously discussed, we want to talk to you about Fine Dining

Sicily is a region rich in history and legends, it is a country where the trend towards modernity is intertwined with an atavistic nostalgia for the past. Its places have been known and loved by hundreds and hundreds of tourists at a national and international level who have decided to make our beloved island a stop on their journey of discovery and in search of different experiences: from the socio-cultural to the food and wine one.

But Sicily is also an entity that still jealously hides enchanting places, hidden landscapes and secrets from mass tourism in which nature is still the main protagonist. And it is precisely one of these places that we want to tell you about today: the Stretta di Longi.

Diane Ackerman writes: “Nothing is more memorable than a smell. A perfume can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, and yet evoke a childhood summer on a mountain lake.” That's right: when many of us travel to Sicily, chosen as an ad hoc destination for our holidays or as an undisputed stop on our itinerary dedicated to relaxation and fun, they decide to let themselves be inebriated by the characteristic and peculiar scents and colours of our beautiful island.

For this reason, for that silent and respectful contact with nature, today we want to tell you about the Kolymbethra Garden. The term comes from the Greek and indicates a type of swimming pool used in Roman times for aquatic games. The garden is an archaeological site of great naturalistic and landscape importance, located in a small valley in the heart of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.

The battles over the centuries have been many and, especially in Sicily, have involved various peoples who have always tried to give voice to their socio-economic supremacy. But we Sicilians know which is the most relevant: the intellectual and linguistic one which sees two splendid cities of our island as protagonists and which for years have been the undisputed destination of national and international tourists: Palermo and Catania which, even today, wonder if it is said " Arancina” or “Arancino”.

Well yes, today we will tell you about this culinary delicacy, loved not only by Sicilians but by people from all over the world. If you missed the previous blogs, and just to make you hungry, don't worry because there's still time! Click to find out more about Cannoli, Cassata and Sfincia di San Giuseppe.

The arancina is a specialty of Sicilian cuisine which, as such, has been officially recognized and included in the list of traditional Italian agri-food products (PAT) of the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (MiPAAF). It is a ball or cone of rice, cooked like saffron risotto, wrapped in a mixture of flour and water and then breaded and fried. With a diameter of 8-10 cm, it is generally stuffed either with bolognese sauce and peas or diced ham and mozzarella.
