Extra Prickly Pear Fruit Preserve - Veg Sicilia

Some flavours tell the story of a place even before they reach the table. The prickly pear is one of the most recognisable fruits of the Sicilian landscape: a familiar presence in the island's natural environment and traditions, and the star ingredient of this Veg Sicilia extra fruit preserve.

The Veg Sicilia fruit preserve range celebrates fresh Sicilian fruit and its connection with the local area. The brand's philosophy is rooted in researching and selecting plant-based products from the island, with a focus on raw ingredients and the richness of Sicilian culinary tradition. An approach that places the flavours and distinctive qualities of local products at its heart.

This extra prickly pear fruit preserve contains 140 g of fruit used per 100 g of finished product. This quantity reflects the generous amount of fruit used in its preparation and makes this speciality an appealing choice for anyone wishing to enjoy the taste of Sicilian fruit.

The Extra Prickly Pear Fruit Preserve is a versatile choice for different moments of the day. At breakfast, it pairs with bread, crispbread and baked goods; in sweet preparations, it can be used as an ingredient for tarts, biscuits and pastries, or as a topping for spoon desserts. It can enhance simple recipes as well as creations prepared for special occasions.

Veg Sicilia was born from the vision of Luce Pennisi, who dedicated the project to researching and selecting Sicilian plant-based specialities and products connected to the island's territory. The enhancement of local raw ingredients and the relationship with Sicilian culinary tradition are central elements of the brand's identity.
