Wheat has been grown in the Agrigento area since the time of Akragas.
For the feast of Saint Calogero, hundreds of kilograms of large loaves of bread are baked to be enjoyed while still warm with oil, pepper and fresh local cheese.
The contrast between the warmth of the loaf of bread and the freshness of the cheese stored in a cool place creates an explosion of flavours that taste of tradition and authenticity.
