If you are looking for the perfect pistachio granita in the province of Catania, then Bar Alecci, in Gravina di Catania, is the right choice.
An absolute guarantee that never disappoints, characterized by an authentic and intense pistachio flavor. The raw material used is 100% pistachio, so there is no unwanted aftertaste, but above all, it is of the highest quality, making the pistachio flavor the absolute best among all the granite we have tried to date. We love it in particular because, in addition to having an intense flavor of the pistachio pulp, it also has a very slight hint of roasting.
The texture is also excellent, with a soft and creamy granita (even if some might say it is too similar to gelato), and without any ice crystals.
Don't forget to pair it with an excellent brioche "col tuppo", which you will always find warm and fragrant at Bar Alecci, but if you really want to enjoy the full experience, have them add some panna too!
And if you fall in love with it after tasting it, remember that you can also take it home in convenient polystyrene containers! Just remember to store it properly and for a short time, because ice will easily form in home freezers, which will significantly ruin its organoleptic characteristics.
Ultimately, it absolutely deserves the top score of 9/10, as well as the title of one of our all-time favorites.
