Elizabeth and Emilia will take you on a wonderful journey through Sicily’s flavours with Strazzanti’s pestos and sauces and Frantoi’s selection of Sicilian olive oils. You will learn how to taste Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), which flavours to expect from Sicilian olive oils, why freshly milled EVOO is a super food, how to cook and pair EVOO with food. You will also learn about the dominant flavours of Sicilian food, how Strazzanti brings these to you home and how best to use their wonderful sauces.
You will be charmed, have fun, and learn tonnes of new things about EVOO, Sicily and it’s flavours.
Your delivery will include:

Each olive oil will be a monocultivar, indigenous to Sicily, freshly pressed from the 2020 harvest and full of its own character. We will taste each oil individually to determine the different characteristics and then put them alongside the wonderful stuzzichini from Strazzanti. This gives you a full journey around the flavours of Sicily, it’s a unique chance to taste these oils all together.

Strazzanti is a family business founded by the Three Strazzanti sisters, who create experiences & memories from the Food of their Sicilian Heritage.
British born with Sicilian & Neapolitan parents, food has always been at the heart of their family life, and a source of many nostalgic, warm memories. They draw on these memories, the native ingredients, the people, the nature and spirit of Sicily as the inspiration for their Sicilian culinary experiences.
Their Journey started from a young age sharing time with their grandparents who taught them about their Italian heritage through their love of food and their homeland. Youngest sister Emilia who took her passion for food professionally went and trained as a Chef at the tender age of 16 where for 16 years she travelled and worked across Europe working in Michelin Starred restaurants, one stop she spent over 2 years in mainland Italy before making her way back home down to Sicily in 2014.
Emilia’s time in Sicily re-ignited her passion for her heritage, the ingredients, products and their history inspiring her to partner with the talented people behind them and bring their products and story over to the UK. Sourcing and using some of the most premium Sicilian ingredients imported directly by Strazzanti, Emilia has created Sicilian culinary experiences through Pop up residency’s, Supper Clubs, & The Sicilian Bakery and now The Sicilian Deli. www.strazzanti.co
