Sicilian Sweet Delight, no meat in sight!

Chocolate Salami is a delightful confection that originates from Italy, particularly popular in regions like Sicily. Despite what the name might suggest, there is no meat in Chocolate Salami; instead, it's a sweet, dense dessert made from a clever combination of cocoa, cookies, and other ingredients which are rolled into a log and sliced like traditional salami. This whimsical resemblance to meat salami makes it a popular treat, especially gathering around the table with friends and family.

Eva’s Story: Bringing Sicily to San Francisco

Nine years ago, I embarked on a life-changing journey, moving from Italy to San Francisco with my young children. Adapting to a new country and missing the closeness of family, I turned to our kitchen as a sanctuary. It was here that I reconnected with the culinary heritage handed down by my grandmother, Margherita.

On a day like any other, while waiting for my children to come home from school, a cherished memory inspired me: my grandmother's chocolate salami. This special treat, made without any meat, blending cocoa and cookies, was a staple of my childhood. Recreating it for my children brought a piece of our Sicilian heritage into our new home.

As friendships formed and our house filled with laughter, I introduced this unique dessert to our guests, enjoying their astonished reactions upon learning that what looked like salami was actually a rich, sweet confection. This playful twist on a traditional recipe became a way to share and celebrate our family’s story.

Eva's Sicilian Delights embodies these moments, merging the old with the new. Each slice of our Chocolate Salami isn’t just delicious; it carries the legacy of Grandma Margherita, blending joy, resilience, and the rich flavors of Sicilian tradition. Join us in savoring a treat that is as much about family and heritage as it is about indulgence.
