Favara Bread - authentic souvenir of Agrigento€3-€6

Favara Bread in Agrigento

Favara Bread is a traditional loaf produced in the area of Favara, in the inland part of the Agrigento province, made with re-milled Sicilian durum wheat semolina, water, yeast, and salt. Slow leavening and baking in a wood-fired oven give it a thick, golden crust and a compact yet soft crumb, with the typical warm yellow color of semolina. The surface is often sprinkled with sesame seeds, a common detail in many breads of western Sicily. Its aroma is intense and lightly toasted, with a full flavor that makes it perfect both on its own and paired with cheeses, olives, and local dishes.
