SICILIAN JAMS, HONEY & SPREAD - FIASCONARO CASTELBUONO
The story of the Fiasconaro family starts in Castelbuono, a small town in Sicily’s Madonie Park, in the Fifties, and it eventually remains in Castelbuono. This is where the brothers Fausto, Martino and Nicola decided to maintain the administrative and production headquarters –the mind and the heart- of their exciting adventure.
This story was originally started in 1953 by their father, Mario Fiasconaro, who over time managed to turn his small ice-cream parlour, located in the main square of the town, into a thriving business in the field of confectionery and catering.
Carefully selected ingredients, favoring the typical productions of Sicily, from Sicilian pistachio to Sicilian blonde oranges, from Modica chocolate to apricots, from Sicilian almonds to the precious Madonie Manna, a uniqueness in the world coming from protected ashes trees, they represent the real key to understanding all the different lines of Fiasconaro celebrations cakes.
