The Sicilian Gelato Kit

Four of Sicily's sweetest ingredients, together in one kit. Each one is what real Sicilian gelato has always been made from. Pistachio Cream from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna — the pistachio that grows in mineral-rich soil and tastes like nowhere else on earth. Vivid, green, unmistakable. Almond Cream from the celebrated Pizzuta d'Avola groves above Avola and Noto — the almond Sicily has been growing since before anyone was counting. Rich, pale, and the classic base for Sicilian granita di mandorla. Orange Marmalade made from whole Sicilian blood oranges — deep amber, sweet and bitter at once, the kind of fruit that makes you reconsider the word orange. Orange Blossom Honey harvested from the flowering citrus groves of eastern Sicily during the three weeks each spring when the blossoms bloom. Sweet, floral, the finishing touch on everything. Four jars. This is how real Sicilian gelato has always started. One of the most surprising and beautiful Sicilian food gifts you can give — for a birthday, a host, a friend who deserves a slow summer afternoon. Or to yourself, of course.
