Which gives you ample opportunity to try as many flavours as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The story goes that <strong>ice cream first came to Sicily by way of the ancient Greek or Roman<\/strong> foot runners who brought snow from Etna to Taormina and Catania, flavoured with nuts, berries and honey. \u00a0The introduction of sugar cane by the Arabs in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> century resulted in an Arab invention based on sorbet made with cane sugar, more akin to what we associate with ice cream today.<\/p>\n<p>As any good Sicilian will tell you, the best way to start the day is with an ice cream for breakfast. Forget Mr Whippy and think instead in terms of a hefty dollop of <strong><em>gelato<\/em> inside an oven-warm, buttery brioche bun, accompanied, of course, by an espresso<\/strong>. Breakfast over, the next dilemma of the day is whether to get a <em>gelato<\/em>, sorbet or <em>granita<\/em>. While ice cream is usually made with cow\u2019s milk or cream with fruit, nuts and even, in some cases, flowers such as jasmine, sorbet is made without milk. <em>Granite<\/em>, ever-popular in Sicily, is made from fruit and sugar which is slowly mixed with water while it is frozen to create finely crushed ice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So where are the best places to get your best ice cream (<\/strong><strong>bread or cone)<\/strong><strong> in Sicily?<\/strong> We\u2019ve identified a few <em>gelaterie<\/em> situated close to our villas on the east coast and in south east Sicily to get your taste buds going.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Caffe Sicilia, Noto<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dating as far back as 1892 and best known for its <em>granite<\/em>, Caffe Sicilia sits next door to the Dolceria Corrado Costanzo, Noto\u2019s best <em>pasticceria<\/em>. <strong>Be prepared for sublime tastes but slightly inflated prices. <\/strong>\u00a0Incapable of making a decision?\u00a0 Go for a trio of trial size <em>granite<\/em> with favourite combos including coffee, almond and black cherry or grapefruit, mandarin and almond milk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gelateria O\u2019Sciality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Gelateria O\u2019Sciality <strong>is one the most famous gelaterie in Taormina<\/strong>. Making their own ice-cream is a given but at O\u2019Sciality, they also make their own signature cones with almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts. Opt for melon, jasmine, mandarin or licorice ice-cream , a <em>limone gelato<\/em>-filled brioche or push the boat out with a scoop of gold gelato with edible 24 carat gold flakes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gelati di Vini, Ragusa<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Situated near San Giorgio cathedral in Ragusa Ibla\u2019s atmospheric historic centre, Gelati Di Vini captures the very best flavours of south east Sicily. <strong>The best ice-cream flavours <\/strong>range from chilli chocolate, carob, Bronte pistachios, onion and olive oil to some of the best local wines such as Nero d\u2019Avola.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holiday in Sicily and wake up to the fact that choosing an ice cream flavour will never be the same again.
