\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOriginally from Central Asia, the almond was already known in Greece in the 4th century BC. The Romans called the fruit the 'Greek nut', but it was the Phoenicians who introduced its cultivation in the Mediterranean basin and in Sicily, in particular.\nLong-lived and resistant to the island's temperate climate, the almond tree found its ideal habitat in the area of Syracuse protected by the Iblei Mountains, where it could grow in harmony with the land and develop its organoleptic qualities that give it an incomparable taste and exceptional nutritional properties, such as a polyphenol content three times higher than that of the Californian almond.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

With its unique and unmistakable aroma and taste, Sicilian 'mennula' is a true 'Made in Italy' excellence appreciated worldwide.
Used in cosmetics for the extraction of oil, the almond has been used in cooking since antiquity and is the absolute queen of traditional Sicilian confectionery with its typical almond pastries, irresistible crunchy cakes, nougats and torroncini scented with orange blossom honey and white or dark chocolate icings.
With its sweet flavour and crunchy texture, it is the perfect raw material for producing high-quality goodies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
