The sfincione is a piece of Palermo's history, a food steeped in tradition and culture. Famous for its irresistible aroma, it originated as a street food, in fact, it is a cornerstone of Palermo's street food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the childhood memories of all Palermo residents, it is easy to find the so-called \u201csfincionaro\u201d who roamed the streets of the city on a bee, shouting: <\/em>\u201cChi cci\u00e0vuru! <\/em>C\u00e0vuru, c\u00e0vuru\u201d, which in Sicilian means <\/em>\u201cWhat a smell! Hot, hot\u201d. <\/em>In fact, its delicious smell really whets the appetite.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only those who know the taste know how irresistible it is in the late morning or at lunchtime, <\/strong>when the first hunger pangs begin to be felt. <\/strong>Each mouthful recalls all the flavours of Sicily, in an inseparable combination of goodness and history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is an old traditional Sicilian recipe whose main ingredient is a well-risen pizza bread that is very soft and fluffy. It is no coincidence that its name derives from the Latin \u201cspongia\u201d (sponge), because its texture resembles that of a sponge. It is topped with a sauce made of tomato, onion, anchovies, oregano and a typical Sicilian cheese, caciocavallo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sfincione can only be enjoyed in Palermo, particularly in bakeries, kiosks, some pizzerias and delicatessens and, of course, on the street.
