Here in Bronte, the pistachio grows on the rocky, steep lava flows of Etna, almost as if to represent a challenge to nature, a symbolism that becomes an allegory for the Sicilians' constant commitment to the pursuit of the good and the beautiful.
A challenge that has been repeated for centuries, since the time of the first colonisers, who gradually instilled the concepts of perfection and refinement into our making.
The ingredients of our recipes, for example, are descended from the use that the Arabs in Sicily made of them in their dishes; true delicacies that over time the flair and creativity of the common people transformed into masterpieces of taste imitated all over the world.
