Sicilian Preserves: a gastronomic excellence
Sicily is an island characterized by a wide range of plant and fish products, which can be consumed fresh, but also after many months in the form of preserves.
Preserves, in fact, are foods that, thanks to specific processing, can maintain their organoleptic characteristics unchanged for a long time, to be enjoyed at the right moment.
The main raw materials used in the preparation of typical Sicilian preserves are: fish (tuna, swordfish, anchovies, and mackerel) and vegetables, especially tomatoes (Pachino cherry tomatoes), eggplants, artichokes, asparagus, and peppers.
The best method to preserve the quality of food unaltered for a long time is to process them as soon as they are caught or harvested, in order to preserve aromas and flavors intact. By placing the material in carefully sterilized glass jars and adding excellent extra virgin olive oil, it is possible to obtain excellent Sicilian preserves. The isolation (through sealing) of the food from the surrounding environment prevents possible contamination by aerobic microorganisms, responsible for food spoilage.
The main advantage of typical Sicilian preserves is the ability to enjoy the products throughout the year, even when they are not available fresh, as they are out of season. Taudì preserves, products that have now become a reference point for lovers of Sicilian gastronomy, use a short supply chain, as they are made with selected and very fresh raw materials, processed extremely quickly.
The choice to produce high-quality Sicilian preserves allows the Taudì company to bring to the tables of connoisseurs foods that combine a proven artisan tradition with the most innovative processing techniques.
Varieties of Sicilian Preserves
Among Sicilian canned food producers, Taudì has gained increasing appreciation from consumers thanks to the freshness of the fish and vegetables used, as well as the rapid and safe processing methods. "Innovation in the tradition"
This is the main strength of the company, which for many years has chosen to use only natural elements (such as salt, extra virgin olive oil, and spices) without resorting to any preservatives. Food traceability and the management of shortened production chains are other fundamental requirements to offer customers the best guarantees not only in terms of taste but also safety.
Among the vegetable products, the delicious Sicilian preserves by Taudì include: asparagus in oil, artichokes in oil, mushrooms in oil, wild garlic pesto, and wild fennel pâté.
The fish preserves, which are a true flagship of the company, include: anchovy and shrimp fish sauce, cuttlefish ink sauce, swordfish roe sauce, anchovy and red tuna in oil sauce. The Sicilian caponata in a jar is a gastronomic excellence, whose origin dates back to the word "capone" (dolphin fish), a very valuable white-fleshed fish that was consumed only by the wealthy. That's why caponata preserve was then made with eggplants or even with other vegetables, such as peppers, green olives, tomatoes, and celery.
Currently, Sicilian caponata preserves are based on a varied mix of vegetables (especially eggplants) seasoned with tomato sauce, onions, celery, olives, capers, vinegar, and a hint of sugar. Sicilian tomato preserve is also a gastronomic excellence particularly loved by food lovers, for the balanced combinations of very fresh and tasty ingredients, such as Pachino tomatoes, basil, and a hint of onion leaf.
Perfect condiments for first courses and soups, but also ideal for enriching croutons and bruschettas, Sicilian vegetable preserves are delicious and digestible products.
Where to buy our preserves?
To be appealing, flavorful, easily digestible, and above all healthy, Sicilian preserves must undergo controlled processing processes that use only extra virgin olive oil, salt, and spices. Olive oil, in fact, which is a typical seasoning of Mediterranean cuisine, serves the dual function of enriching flavors and preserving food for a long time, excluding the addition of chemical products.
The Sicilian preserves online that Taudì offers to its customers are made only with 100% natural ingredients, and for this reason, they maintain the unchanged aroma and flavor of typical island products.
