Sweet flavours in the city of Etna
Catania’s confectionery tradition offers a world of delicacies that are impossible to resist! The olivette di Sant’Agata, made of green almond paste and covered with sugar, are the sweet-symbol of the city, while ‘Nzuddi‘ are delicious orange biscuits decorated with an almond. Also not to be missed is the Cassatella di Sant’Agata, a miniature cassata in the shape of a breast that symbolises the martyrdom of the young Christian girl. Other typical delicacies include cannoli, cassatine and the famous brioche with granita.
