Mount Etna Food Itinerary
Try an anti-clockwise route from Catania passing Acireale and Giarre before turning inland to Linguaglossa, Randazzo, Bronte, Adrano, Paterno and Belpasso.
Expect to find an abundance of fruits such as peaches, kiwi, mangoes, oranges and wonderful lemons well as nuts such as pistacchio, 'pinoli', pine nuts, and 'mandorle' almonds.
In fact 80% of the pistachio production is from the comune of Bronte.
The mushrooms are especially rich thanks to the composition of the earth as is the milk from those herds grazing on the slopes.
Fresh ricotta from Linguaglossa and Randazzo makes sublime cannoli desserts.
