Wines of Sicily
The Greeks, Phoenicians, Arabs and Italians have all held sway over Sicily. Though the Greeks brought their advanced viticulture techniques, Sicilians have been making wine since 4000 BC. Its dry, warm climate features regular sunshine and moderate rainfall that suits wine production.

The main olive varieties used to produce this delicacy are Biancolilla, Cerasuola, Moresca, Nocellara del Belice, Nocellara Etnea, Ogliarola Messinese and Tonda Iblea, but some other varieties grown on the island can also be used.

Street Food
The basic principle of street food is: simple and cheap food for simple people. The street food of Palermo mainly consists of simple poor recipes…simply fried and locals often use to eat on the street cooked food to spit with their hands.

Marsala and the Saltpans
Dating back as far as the reign of the Phoenicians some 2700 years ago, the ancient salt pans of western Sicily between Trapani and Marsala have played a hugely important role in the daily life of thousands of Mediterranean and European people for generations.
