From the will to enhance the Sicilian heritage, we set up Heraia and her mythical goods. It is about high quality salty and sweets delicacies.
Thanks to the careful selection of the best cultivars of the Sicilian hinterlands, the manual collection and the fast processing, we are able to make the best of the best we can offer. We put the same efforts and care to make new delicacies, starting from the classic recipes of the Sicilian cuisine. We made a range of delicacies such as torrone, nougats, spreads and snacks. All of them are the results of new combinations, techniques and pairings. Our aim has been always to enhance raw materials. As follow, we choose a special design packaging inspired by a myth with the proper eco-paper.
Our Garden of Hesperides is settled where past, present and future merge. It is a magic place owned by nature and its precious fruits.
Our Garden is placed in the Sicilian hinterlands, more specifically in Barrafranca (EN). Our beautiful garden has started to expand since 1961 from Michele Gentile. In the myth, the Garden of Hesperides was warden by nymphs that took the same name. Today we took their role to safeguard the precious fruits cultivated inside our garden and we carefully select them for our special recipes. In this garden you can find different king of groves such as: olives, almonds, pistachio, citrus fruits (orange, lemon, tangerine and grapefruit) and heirloom wheats. A poem that collects the most special raw materials for the best food.
In order to preserve the organoleptic features of our raw material by enhancing their flavors, we entrusted our precious fruits to the best Sicilian artisans. We used the ancient knowledge, a rooted passion for food and our environment. The purpose is to avoid artificial preservers and dye and maximize the artisanal know-how. It is about master patissieurs which are able to explore new borders and balance them with classic Sicilian cuisine.
