About Granita

Granita is a refreshing, semi-frozen dessert originating from Sicily, Italy. Made primarily from sugar, water, and natural flavorings such as fruit juice, coffee, or herbs, granita is known for its crystalline texture achieved through slow freezing and manual stirring. Its simple ingredients make it a lighter alternative to ice cream or sorbet, often enjoyed as a palate cleanser or a cooling treat in hot weather. Granita is low in fat, but its sugar content can be substantial depending on the recipe. Variations such as citrus-based granitas, rich in vitamin C, offer a nutritious boost, while coffee granitas provide antioxidants and a gentle caffeine kick. By controlling the amount of added sugar or using natural sweeteners, granita can be tailored to suit healthier dietary needs while maintaining its delightful flavor and icy charm.
