TAORMINA SWEET FOOD

Taormina sweet food – Sicilian gastronomy is varied and delicious. Not only are the typical dishes based on fish, ricotta, shrimp and aubergines famous in the Sicilian food tradition but a great strength and known all over the world are certainly the desserts.

Throughout Sicily it is possible to find particular and typical sweets. In the “ETNA” pastry shop in Taormina at Corso Umberto 112, it is possible to admire the amazing art of pastry making. In addition to the typical and famous cannoli, cassata, almond sweets, nougat, the marzipan-based sweets are delicious.
With this ingredient, the talented, very kind and expert pastry chefs Carmelo and Severino who have been working for over twenty years in the “ETNA” pastry shop in Taormina are able to prepare and shape sweets giving them the features of many foods such as sandwiches, kiwis, oranges, apples , bananas, lemons and cheeses that are identical to the imitated products.

Here you can see the recipe for preparing marzipan at home but to get what Carmelo and Severino do it takes much more.
In fact, the manufacturing process of marzipan sweets (or royal pasta) is quite complex and takes time because you have to be precise in modeling them and above all decorating them, however the result is truly incredible and it is difficult, perhaps impossible, to resist the temptation to buy a tray of these tempting desserts, even just to give them to a friend or family.
The ETNA pastry shop also sells its products on the internet and ships them all over the world.
