When summer comes, with its torrid days, Sicilians know perfectly how to improve the situation and find immediate refreshment: enjoying a delicious granita, fresh and sweet at the same time! In fact, for Sicilians granita is a real ritual, as well as a valid substitute for any meal of the day, and is among those delicacies that make you forget any diet or the hours lost in the gym to shed a few extra pounds.

Besides being a pleasure for the palate, granita is a symbol of Sicily also and especially for its ancient origins, which date back to the Arab domination. From then on it has undergone some changes, but has never lost its ability to unite, cheer and delight anyone.
