What is granita?

A question to which the answer has always been known and needs no introduction. But in case anyone was wondering, let’s give a quick review.

Therefore, among the different ice cream products, the granita is halfway between the sorbets and the popsicles, being in fact composed of countless microcrystals of ice. It is no coincidence that the granites were so named for their crystalline and rough, indeed “granitous” structure.

The ice crystals – an indispensable prerogative of granita – must however be very fine, noticeable on the tongue and melt easily in the mouth.
Granitas are distinguished from ice creams and sorbets by a series of structural aspects:

• Absence of creaminess and pastiness
• Grainy and crystalline appearance
• Semi-thick (or semi-liquid) consistency

Therefore, main characteristics that a perfect granita must respect.

How granita was born: its history

If we talk about a product known on the one hand, on the other, however, not everyone knows its history.

Its origins date back to the Arabs and their Sherbet, an iced drink with the flavor of fruit and roses, to which the Sicilians added the snow of Etna, the Peloritani and Nebrodi mountains, which in summer was preserved in niviere, forerunners of modern cold rooms.

The recipe was then perfected in the 16th century. with the invention of the pozzetto (a bucket of wood and zinc, where the snow and fruit juice were mixed with a special handle, to give greater consistency to the mixture) and above all of the Brioscia, destined immediately to become the eternal companion of the granita.

Initially the flavors included only strawberry, lemon and orange, but from the 17th century onwards almond, pistachio, chocolate, mulberry, coffee and many others also arrived, in a constant experimentation that continues today. Exactly like in our offers.
