Rivareno x Stefano Manfredi: Giuggiulena, Chef Exclusive

Gelato with Sicilian carob, caramelised almonds, sesame seeds from Ispica, Sicily; and so smooth and creamy- the Rivareno way. 

We loved working with Stefano Manfredi, who is fondly known in Australia as the ‘godfather’ of modern Italian cuisine. He has made his mark as chef, restaurateur, an inspired coffee blender, successful cookbook and food writer, an Italian Wine and Food educator and an ambassador of seasonality and sustainability. 

“I was born in northern Italy but my heart belongs to the south. I love Sicily and have travelled there constantly over the years. This gelato combines two of my favourite Sicilian delicacies: their carob and the sesame from Ispica that’s been grown since Arab times. The name “giuggiulena” comes from the Sicilian word for sesame seeds.” 

See you in store between 10-16 April for a scoop of Giuggiulena.
