Founded in 2016 by brothers Piero and Salvo Motta, Fratelli Sicilia is a family bakery at the foot of Mount Etna, rooted in Sicily's rich culinary traditions. Piero is the master pastry chef and guardian of the bakery's living sourdough starter, while Salvo develops the business and brings their creations to customers beyond Sicily.

Everything is made the traditional way, using a living sourdough starter and long, slow fermentation. The dough is given plenty of time to develop its wonderfully light, soft and delicate texture, along with a rich, complex flavour. The brothers draw on ingredients from their native island, including local pistachios, almonds and citrus fruits grown in the fertile volcanic soils around Mount Etna, alongside carefully selected flour, butter and chocolate. No artificial colours or flavourings are used.

The range includes the beloved classic with raisins and candied orange peel, alongside imaginative creations featuring pistachios, chocolate and other Sicilian specialities. And that's exactly what we love about Fratelli Sicilia at Rolling Cheese: they respect tradition, but aren't afraid to have a little fun with it. A delicious taste of Sicily for the Christmas table.
