The first to bloom.
The last thing you'll forget.
The Pizzuta d'Avola. Sicily's most celebrated almond.
In the hills above Avola, the almond trees bloom in winter — when everything else is still sleeping.
This is where the Pizzuta d'Avola grows. Flat, smooth, with a flavour so clean and deep that a Sicilian poet once called it perfect. He meant the shape. He could have meant everything.
