Noto Almond Cookies #thecheekychef #recipetesting I use a special variety called "romana almonds" (available on @gustiamo ) which have an intense true sweet almond flavor + the best aromatics. These #almonds from #Noto, #Sicily are a certified #SlowFoodPresidia @slowfoodHQ Noto Almond (Sicily) In the almond groves of Noto, the trees are pruned at the end of September, wild plants are grafted in December and the soil is plowed three or four times a year and fertilized annually with manure. Between July and August workers called “ciurme” beat the branches with long canes and collect the almonds on large cloths spread on the ground. The almonds are then bagged and hulled. Earnings are low and competition on the market from foreign almonds is intense. However, this area, one of Sicily’s most beautiful agricultural landscapes, is home to a variety of exceptional quality, the Romana, particularly sought after by confectioners like Caffe Sicilia. #SNACKsicily (at cheeky cucina & giardino)
