CheeseArt in Ragusa, for those who love cheese!

Do you know what "CheeseArt" is? CheeseArt is a great event located in Ragusa and organised by the Association Corfilac. It will celebrate the opening of two important places devoted to cheeses. The first is the Cacioteca Regionale Siciliana and the second is a lab called Accademia della terra, where is possible to taste products and have guided tours.


Now, I believe the world  is divided in 2 species: people who love cheeses and people who hate them. I still get a bit disappointed when I come across a person that says: "I don't like cheeses." I always wonder: "How is that possible? I love them!!!"


I know I know, it seems very appropriate quoting the famous latin sentence: "de gustibus non disputandum est!" It means that there is no point in discussing about people's taste because everyone has its own.


Let's not discuss then, let's just go to Ragusa for this amazing event and if you are too far to go, have some nice cheese and enjoy it! ;-)

Have a rest with a "Sicilian granita"

Hi everyone, do you know what the "granita di pistacchi" is? Granita is something very typical from Sicily and is basically what you probably call a shaved ice or similar. Nice, cool, refreshing, perfect when the sun is hot and you want to have a rest.

In the southern part of Sicily the granita is particularly good and they prepare it with so many different flavors: pistaches, figs, coffee, watermelon, mint, ecc... besides the most classic one that is made with lemon.

Thanks to the picture that my two friends Laura e Carlo sent me while they were visiting the town of Ragusa. If you are in that part of Sicily, or near Siracusa as well, don't forget to try one of this excellent granite!!!

Everyone is on holiday right now so I want to wish Happy Ferragosto (ferragosto is our Summer festivity: August 15th) and enjoy your Summer vacation wherever you are!
