Sheep ricotta has a very strong flavour, that's why many (us included) prefer to make it with also goat milk.
I could eat Cannoli ‘til I pop! I have a question to any Sicilian in the comment section: is the surname Maltese common in Palermo? I have been trying to trace the origin of my name. Is it connected to the Island of Malta?
Wonderful!! Love Sicily….my wife’s aunt was from Castronova near Palermo. She and my mother in law, who was from Calabria made pignolata ever year for Christmas….but they would cover the balls with candied honey….it would harden a bit and was just great with coffee, black or brown…..on the eastern shore we made a stop in Giardini Naxos. We got a tip from our host about the Cannoli….Like you, we learned to cook from the best😊
i cannoli di dattilo tp Euro bar next try it
What the heck was going on with that band playing the music and squawking like a seal?
I have never had a cannoli that I have found edible (live in America). I hope I am able to travel to Italy one day and try one. These look so good.
Wow! So much fun in this video.
Grazie melle
You two and your videos are wonderful and informative and very fun to watch. Please don't stop! But please do explain why the video is about "BEST CANNOLI" but you continually refer to it as "cannolo"…
I live in brolo and Armando is my husband
Just seeing this now, 8 months later. Yes, continue your search. I suggest a "hometown" favorite, Oriens Pasticceria in Lercara Friddi, Palermo provincia. I had my first Sicilian cannolo while visiting my grandfather’s birthplace. It brought tears to my eyes; it was incredibly delicious. The pecorino ricotta was so light and creamy. It was so unlike what we get in the US. Here, the filling is too thick and very sugary. You barely taste the ricotta at all. By the way, watching this brought tears to my eyes, too. I miss Sicily and need to visit again.
Beautiful.
Canada cake is so wonderful! My favorite after cannoli!
What are you, smart or something?
In Sicilia nella città di Caltagirone nel bar La Loggia provate le granite… mai assaggiata una più buona, anche meglio di un cannolo.
There has to be a peanut cannollo with chocolate chips!
I actually like them a little bit soggy. 😋
Actually the cannoli on the boat are quite good, too.
The guy from the second place that was empty looks like my dad. His mom's family was from some Sicily. Wow you ended up in one of the towns last. Abanesi. In my family history book one of the names is Albanese. No wonder I love Cannoli so much.
Would love to go on that trip. I have my family records from back to 1700s from those little towns around Palermo.
try Little Italy NYC street fair
what ricotta cheese you recommend in the US? I dont know what's a good one lol. Also Ava has been my online Italian chef mentor for 2 years now. I only cook Italian, all because of her. Thank you Ava!
Not a good cannoli within 100miles from me 😢
Gotta question for Ava. My grandmother from Terrasini, Sicily has always made 100 cannoli for her entire family, and grandchildren every Christmas. She always made the cream from heavy cream, and corn starch, on the stove, and would lay the sheets of cinnamon into the cream after it was cooked to the flavor, then when cooled would fill the shells. She never used ricotta. And we had other Sicilian relatives and distant relatives that also made the cream oon the stove. Ever hear of that? I've searched all over Youtube, and no one shows how to make it that way.. THUMBS UP!!!
