Thanks to the products "Sempre Ghiotti" the Sicilian cuisine is suitable for everyone!With "Sempre Ghiotti" we serve the genuine Sicily, with its smells and authentic flavors.We share all real Sicilian products, not only those famous around the world, but also special dishes of local origin (have you ever heard of Stigliole Palermitane? And of Panelle Nissene?).We have chosen the most traditional recipes of our land; we serve them on your table with easy preparations, suitable to contemporary life. For all that, we aim to complete your tasting experience: bit by bit we want to make you plunge into a totally Sicilian flavor.Another aspect that characterizes us is the desire to look "beyond our horizon". In fact, for some time, we have been working to make the Sicilian cuisine "within the world's reach." So, we experiment with the use of autochthonous and very high-quality raw materials from all over the planet to combine them with the typical recipes of the Mediterranean diet.Often these culinary tests are commissioned by some European market's players: appreciating the quality of our work and not having a proper know-how in the field of transformation of fish products, into ready-to-eat meals, we are asked to create tasty homemade frozen recipes, without additives and preservatives, 100% edible and characterized by simple preparation. In three words, the products "Sempre Ghiotti".We produce the complete line of the dishes "Sempre Ghiotti" by ensuring the highest quality to our customers: we monitor the entire production process through constant controls.Raw materials are our mainstay because they come from local from-farm-to-fork production. realities that preserve the natural genuineness of the ingredients. The preparation of the dishes ishandmade in kitchens meant for catering, it is not mechanically or factory made.Once ready, we proceed with immediate -40 C freezing of the product that guarantees the optimum conservation without the use of additives, and it maintains intact the original taste. To taste the product at home, just bake it for 15 minutes and it is soon ready, fragrant and tasty.With regards to fish references:- The processing is done according to the catch of the day, directly getting the raw materials (sardines/silver scabbardfish or frost fish ) from the ports of Porto Empedocle, Sciacca and Mazara del Vallo.- Brought immediately to our factory, the product starts the production cycle, where it is cleaned, gutted, filleted and boned.- The processing is craft made and the only mechanical intervention is refrigeration through blastchiller at -40 C to make the product frozen.- Nowadays the frozen is the best one among preservative systems because it does not provide for the use of additives and helps to keep unchanged the freshness of the product. This process makes sure that all the fish products are preferable than fresh products because it better preserves the nutritional values: the freshness of the product is not lost during the transport from the sea to the table and the most feared bacteria are knocked down.We have been present in the last two years in International Fairs such as Cibus of Parma on May 2018 Taifex world of food Bangkok on May 2018 SIAL ME 2017 - Abu Dhabi in December 2017nd EU China Business & Technology Cooperation Fair Chengdu XI in 2016.This has given us the opportunity to experience first hand how other nations recognize our culinary culture and appreciate it.
