- Cammarata - The day takes place entirely in Cammarata and in San Giovanni Gemini which are known in the region as “the mountain of excellence”, precisely because they have an abundance of high-quality products and raw materials in the heart of Sicily. After a stroll through the historic centre, we will meet a chef of a typical Sicilian trattoria and together we visit the local market and do some shopping. Then we put on “u fadali” (the apron) and now we can roll up our sleeves and put our hands in the dough. An unforgettable experience for those who really want to know what the area in the Sicilian hinterland really offers. We’re not done with the day yet. Another sweet excellency awaits in the afternoon, we will discover it together.
