Scopello: a Mediterranean gem.
Scopello is a true Mediterranean gem. Set between the Zingaro Nature Reserve and the Tonnara di Scopello, the old tuna fishery, this charming fishing village captures visitors with its crystal-clear water, its picturesque coves and its old cobbled lanes. Its relaxing atmosphere, far from the bustle of modern life, makes it an ideal destination for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the beauty of Sicilian nature.
Pane cunzato: a feast of Mediterranean flavours.
One of the culinary pleasures of Scopello is pane cunzato, a speciality typical of the area. This sandwich, made with fresh bread, is filled with a combination of fresh, genuine ingredients. The base is a slice of home-style bread, lightly toasted to make it crunchy. It is then dressed with local extra virgin olive oil, fresh tomatoes, local cheese, oregano, salt, anchovies and pepper. But the finishing touch that makes pane cunzato truly special is the addition of caciocavallo or primo sale, a typical Sicilian cheese.
A feast for the senses.
Scopello’s pane cunzato is much more than a simple sandwich. It is a sensory experience that brings together the fresh, authentic flavours of Mediterranean cooking. The extra virgin olive oil gives a rich taste, while the ripe tomatoes add a pleasant freshness and sweetness. The oregano brings an aromatic touch and the cheese completes it all with its creamy, tasty texture. Pane cunzato is a real feast for the palate.
