At Summer Fancy Food Show, The Story We Heard From a Group of Small Businesses in Paceco, Sicily, Stands Out

July 12, 2011 ~ The Summer Fancy Food Show, held this year in Washington, DC, attracted the big brands of specialty foods from Italy and across the world. Italy, as it has in the past, dominated the show with the presence of 240 exhibitors all located at the Italian Pavilion. We were delighted to meet during the show, a group of small producers and businesses from Paceco, a small town of about 12,000 residents, located near Trapani in Western Sicily. They were able to travel to Washington, D.C. with the financial support of a local cooperative bank, the Banca di Credito Cooperativo "Sen. P. Grammatico." The businesses that exhibited their food products were: Oleificio Basiricò, Azienda agricola Baglio Porticalazzo, Oleificio Baglio D'Alì, "Caseificio Ingardia, Antichi Sapori di Sicilia, and 12 Chiavi. Among the products they brought from Sicily were extra virgin olive oil, red and white wine, sea salt in various flavors, and preserves. We interviewed the Mayor of Paceco, Biagio Martorana, who at his own expenses, as he told us, traveled with the group to the Fancy Food Show.
