At this point, aromas such as orange peel or cinnamon are added to give a touch of freshness and intensity. The mixture is then spread on a surface and cut into pieces once cooled, thus obtaining crunchy, golden bars.<\/p>\n<p>Giuggiulena is particularly appreciated during the Christmas holidays, but is enjoyed all year round as an energetic and flavorful dessert, representing an authentic piece of the Sicilian confectionery tradition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allergens:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe highlighted ingredients may cause allergies or intolerances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ispica sesame nougat, <strong>a typical recipe from our area.<\/strong><br \/>\nGiuggiulena is a <strong>crunchy Sicilian biscuit made from sesame seeds<\/strong>, honey and sugar, often enriched with orange zest and cinnamon.
