Very subtle pistachio, refreshing granita.
Rating: 7/10
Bar Taormina (or Caffè Taormina) is one of the most famous spots in Rosolini, overlooking a lovely small square with a few trees, under which it is pleasant to cool down with a granita. Everything is handcrafted, and we tried their pistachio granita.
The granita has a very watery consistency, which makes it refreshing. Unfortunately, however, the pistachio flavor is very subtle. There are no unwanted aromas or traces of almond, which is a plus, but the very bright green color suggests the possible use of food coloring.
The option to add chopped and whole pistachios on top is interesting. The pistachios are slightly salted, which creates a fairly interesting contrast.
In terms of sugar, the granita is well-balanced, making it overall pleasant, even if it lacks a strong pistachio punch. The chocolate granita is excellent and very intense.
To improve it, we suggest increasing the percentage of pistachio and making the color more natural.
