ALMAR GRANITAS AT THE BAR, DIFFERENT PREPARATIONS

TOARMINA OR NAXOS?

What is granita?

Granita is a Sicilian specialty: it is a cold spoon dessert.
The main ingredients are water and sugar, to which are added fruit, coffee, cola or mint.

How do you prepare a granita at the bar?

Almar offers the granita mix both in syrup and in a mixture of freeze-dried fruit.

Almar’s proposals are two:

Freeze-dried granita: the 700 g bag whose contents, once mixed with 4 liters of water, must be poured into the granita to obtain a granita with the chosen flavor (you have 20 available!)

Syrups for granita: a neutral base (700 g bag) with which a neutral granita without any taste is prepared in the slush machine. Once the neutral granita has been poured into the glass, it can be flavoured with one of the 21 flavors in syrup. This system allows you to offer many flavours by having only one machine unlike freeze-dried granitas which allow you to have only one flavor for each container.

Without taking anything away from our wonderful syrups, we must admit that freeze-dried granitas are more successful!

How is the granita offered?

Granita was once accompanied by bread, now it can be offered alone in a glass or with a particular brioche: the Sicilian round brioscia.

If requested, it can be served decorated with whipped cream.
