Sicilian Torrone Cobaita 200g
Brand: Donna Elvira
This delicious Sicilian Torrone is a regional
Christmas speciality which has been hand made in Donna Elvira's
family run 'laboratorio' in Modica. The Cobaita is a sweet and
crunchy Torrone made with all local produce - sesame seeds (from
nearby Ispica, almonds from Avola and honey from the Hyblean
Mountains. The name Cobaita is said to come from the Arabic word
'qubbiat' which means with almonds The honey used in this product
is very special. Produced in only a very small area of Sicily (only
in the provinces of Siracusa and Ragusa), it has been considered
one of the great honeys since ancient times. What characterises
this honey is the combination of sensory qualities related to the
rich and varied local flora - it has a distincltive colour and
flavour. The secret for a perfect Cobaita is the time of cooking:
all the ingredients are put in a pot over low heat and, stirring
constantly, they are cooked until both the sesame seeds and the
almonds are perfectly toasted. In Modica, Christmas is not
Christmas without this treat! The Cobaita is made from completely
natural ingredients and contains no additives, preservatives or
colourants of any type.
