Produced in the fertile volcanic soils of the southern slopes of Etna.
The unique name "Bastardoni" is given to prickly pears obtained from a second flowering caused by the "Scozzolatura" of the first, which makes the fruit more late and fragrant.
Fruits with an unmistakable taste: prickly pears are a pure concentrate of nutritional properties. They contain both sugars and fibers, with the first to supply the body with fuel and the latter to prevent excessive absorption. They also contain a lot of vitamin C, which nourishes and protects the immune system.
So not only are these fruits not fattening, but they are also indicated in a low-calorie diet. Prickly pears can be an exceptional ingredient for fruit salads and even for salads. In Sicily there is a long tradition of cakes, ice creams, syrups and jams. Some cooks also suggest a prickly pear risotto!
