Bio-Arancina Siciliana del V.Titone

From tradition… to a sustainable and healthy contemporary taste

From tradition to contemporaneity, the arancina is transformed into a sustainable and healthy proposal, reinterpreting a historical dish with a modern approach. The idea is to promote seasonality and follow the principles of the Mediterranean diet, using ingredients such as autumn cauliflower and slow food and DOP products. These elements enhance the territoriality, respecting the concept of "km 0" and offering a refined taste to the consumer.

Tradition and innovation

A gastronomic journey

This choice not only enhances local flavors, but is also eco-sustainable, both from an environmental and socio-economic point of view. In particular, the organic Sicilian rice used requires 50% less water than crops in northern Italy, representing a more responsible option for our cuisine.

Food and wine pairing.......

The pairing of the gourmet arancina with “Esclamativo Rosso IGT Sicilia” from the Vaccaro di Salaparuta winery is a perfect match for the “contrast method”. This wine, obtained from slightly dried grapes and vinified without malolactic fermentation, expresses a lively freshness and good acidity that balance beautifully with the richness and creaminess of the arancina.

Bar-Solution…….. Marketing and business opportunities ........enhancing the territory & Bar Mixology

The proposal to create a mini version of the gourmet arancino as an accompaniment to an aperitif cocktail is an innovative idea and perfectly in line with the trends of valorizing the territory through mixology. This type of offer allows you to embrace a complete sensory experience, playing with contrasting and complementary flavors. The combination of the mini arancino with a cobbler-fizz cocktail based on Esclamativo Rosso IGT and pomegranate represents a unique opportunity to valorize local products and offer a fresh and contemporary reinterpretation of the Italian spritz.

Perfect side for the cocktail

The mini arancino, accompanied by a piece of Piacentino Ennese DOP and fresh pomegranate seeds, becomes an ideal side for a cocktail like the cobbler-fizz. This pairing explores the divergence of flavors, with the freshness and acidity of the pomegranate contrasting with the creaminess of the arancino and the flavor of the Piacentino, offering the customer a multisensory experience.

Cobbler-Fizz cocktail based on Esclamativo Rosso IGT and pomegranate

Cobbler-fizz, with its base of **Esclamativo Rosso IGT*, a slightly fruity and acidic Sicilian red wine, and the sweet-acidic note of the pomegranate, revisits the traditional spritz in a Sicilian key. This combination enhances the hints of red fruit and spices of the wine, refreshed by the pomegranate and the typical effervescence of the fizz.

Using red wine for a spritz is a bold and innovative move, which attracts a curious audience open to new experiences. The seasonal pomegranate, with its antioxidant properties and lively flavor, is a perfect ingredient to pair with the cocktail, adding a fresh and slightly exotic touch.

Presentation of the mini cutting board:

Each portion is presented on an elegant mini wooden cutting board, highlighting the rustic and authentic aspect of the proposal.

The cutting board includes:

A mini arancino with a cauliflower heart and white sausage ragù, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

A small piece of Piacentino Ennese DOP, whose saffron note pairs well with the wine and pomegranate.

A small amount of fresh pomegranate seeds, which add a contrast of texture and flavor, with their sweetness and acidity.

Tasting:

The tasting experience is based on a play of divergent flavors: the saltiness of the arancino, the creaminess of the cheese and the freshness of the pomegranate. The customer is invited to sip the cobbler-fizz cocktail between bites, discovering how the different elements harmonize in the mouth.

The cocktail acts as a common thread that ties these flavors together: its freshness and acidity balance the richness of the food, while the light sweetness of the pomegranate and Esclamativo wine emphasizes the spicy and aromatic component of the dish.
