About us...
The scent of jasmine...or gelsomino, in italian
In the gardens of ancient Sicilian villas on warm summer evenings, the air is filled with the tireless song of the cicada, the soft glow of the moon, and the rich, intoxicating scent of jasmine – or gelsomino, in Italian.
A company born out of the love for Sicily - the island of flavors, colors, contrasts and contradictions
Sicily is known as the jewel of the Mediterranean, an island replete with vibrant flavors, colors, contrasts and contradictions.
