  • Caciocavallo Cheese

    Many Sicilian recipes call for Caciocavallo cheese. Caciocavallo is a Southern Italian cow’s milk cheese that could be compared to Provolone (a similar, Northern Italian cheese), but depending on how long it has aged and the types of grass the cows ate before being milked, it could have a spicier and saltier flavor. It’s named…

  • Particular to the areas in the shadow of Mount Etna, pistachio pesto is a culinary delight. It’s made with carefully cultivated pistachios that are ground and mixed with a special balance of seed oils and salt.

  • Since 1834, Palermitani from all walks of life have savored the dishes offered by Antica Focacceria San Francesco, a 5th generation, family-run establishment in the center of Palermo. Its name is deceptive: focaccia is only one of this gastronomic hub’s specialties. I usually fill my tray with arancine, panelle, cazzilli di patate, sfinciuni, and other…

  • Sicilians eat a lot of fish. And you do not put cheese on your pasta dish that has fish in the ingredients. So instead, if you want to do as the Sicilians do, you put breadcrumbs on your pasta.
