Good to know
Frutta Martorana description
AranciaDoc® Frutta Martorana is one of the most authentic symbols of Sicilian pastry-making.
Handcrafted with Sicilian almonds and sugar, it is hand-modelled and decorated to reproduce faithfully the fruit of the island — oranges, figs, lemons, cherries, pears and aubergines — in a riot of colours and scents.
Its making follows the traditional recipe of the Benedictine nuns of Palermo, who in the Middle Ages created this sweet for the feast of All Saints.
Sweet, fragrant and with a soft, refined texture, Frutta Martorana is perfect for gifts, ceremonies and festivities or for treating yourself to a moment of authentic Sicilian sweetness.
Discover all the AranciaDoc® typical Sicilian sweets, made with genuine ingredients and according to tradition, to bring the island’s unique flavours home.
