AEOLIAN PESTO - USES AND CONSUMPTION:

This pesto, as one can well understand from its very name, recalls and encapsulates the flavours and the true essence of an archipelago very dear to Sicilians and others, that of the Aeolian Islands, also known as the Lipari Islands.

Located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the northern side of the Sicilian island, the Aeolian Islands archipelago is of volcanic origin, so much so, that two of the seven islets are still active volcanoes. We are talking about Stromboli and Vulcano, whose eruptions allow us to participate in breathtaking natural events every year.

On these islands, rich in vegetation, we can find all the foods and main products of the Sicilian tradition. The tomato, capers, olives, chilli, aromatic herbs and much more. This is why, in order to pay homage to this archipelago and all it has to offer, we decided to create a pesto/sugar sauce that would recall the flavours and smells of these magnificent Sicilian islands: Aeolian pesto.
