The Consorzio della Mandorla di Avola is pleased to announce its participation in the 2025 edition of the Nivarata Festival, the famous event dedicated to Sicilian granita that will be held in Acireale from 23 to 25 May.

For three days, inside the area dedicated to Sicilian excellence, the absolute protagonist will be the Granita alla Mandorla di Avola prepared according to the authentic traditional recipe with the exclusive use of the three native cultivars of the Avola area: the Pizzuta, the Fascionello and the Romana.

The presence of the Consorzio della Mandorla di Avola at this event represents an occasion of extraordinary importance since the Nivarata Festival has been an international point of reference for the world of artisanal pastry and ice cream for years, capable of attracting master ice cream makers, pastry chefs, gourmets and enthusiasts from all over the world and participating in it means not only valorizing an excellent product of our territory, but also affirming the indissoluble bond between quality, origin and tradition.

"Being present at the Nivarata with the granita made with our Almond is a source of great pride for us and a further opportunity to promote and enhance the Avola almond - says the president of the Consortium, Attorney Giorgio Cappello - as it is extremely important to communicate to consumers the uniqueness, healthiness and organoleptic characteristics of our environmentally friendly almond, the result of a controlled supply chain that is the custodian of traditional cultivation practices. It is the primary pleasure and interest of the Avola Almond Consortium to introduce the visitors to the festival to the authentic granita made with the prized and tasty Avola almond, in order to increasingly encourage ice cream makers and pastry chefs to use it and invite all visitors to the Festival to discover, taste and get to know first-hand the authentic flavor of this almond, emblem of the Sicilian agri-food heritage".
