Montevago- the small villlage in southwest Sicily where my mom was born, my extended family still lives, and our travel guests discover Sicily like a local. Generous people, rich history, delicious food, so much to explore.

As summer comes to an end, I can’t help but feel immense gratitude for my amazing family and friends in Montevago. This business has gifted me time in Sicily I never knew I needed. So thankful for my people.

Fun Fact Friday: Before refrigerators, in Sicily, snow was collected on Mount Etna and stored in snow houses, a kind of natural refrigerator.
The snow was piled up in and insulated with materials like straw so it could be preserved for months. Snow workers, called "nevaru" or "nevaroli” specialized in collecting and preserving the snow. They transported snow from the mountains and sold it, especially during the warmer months. The snow was then used to create cold drinks and desserts. It is one of the ancestors of the granita we know today.
