Sicilian cannoli with an extra gear: Modica PGI Chocolate
The Sicilian cannolo is one of the most popular Sicilian desserts in the world.
The restricted production area of this chocolate, limited to Modica, means that the raw materials used to make the Sicilian cannoli can count on 0 km products of the highest quality .
Everything varies, but what remains is the quality of local raw materials that make Sicilian cannoli with ricotta a product of pride all over the world.
Il nostro involucro è vaccino Ragusano
The filling of the Sicilian cannoli varies according to the area of Sicily: in Palermo the ricotta is strictly sheep's milk while in eastern Sicily, in the Ragusa area, only the lighter, more delicate and digestible cow's milk is used
The Ragusa area is famous for its cows which find their home in the meadows of the Ibleo plateau, between Modica and Ragusa: this type of breeding guarantees the production of cow's milk with an unmistakable, light, tasty and highly digestible flavour .
The wild state that is guaranteed to the Modica breed bred here ensures extremely high quality and wholesomeness of the products obtained: the milk produced by the Modica breed is DOP certified ;
The evolution of the cannoli has come up to today where in Palermo there are razor clams, smaller than the classics.
In Trapani it was preferred to propose a version that uses a coarser ricotta with less sugar.
Another choice that varies from province to province is that which concerns the garnish with chocolate or pistachio.
