Thanks to an innovative and successful format, in only three editions the Nivarata<\/em> festival of granita has reached important goals such as the participation in national and international food events.<\/p>\n

Next week Nivarata<\/strong> will be involved in the return leg of the partnership with the Brighton & Hove Food & Drink Festival<\/em><\/strong>, started in June when some representatives of the British festival came over to Acireale to take part in the granita festival and film the first part of the episode of the International Chef Exchange<\/em><\/strong> TV series, focused on the chefs swap between Acireale and Brighton along with many other partners and destinations across the globe. The Nivarata team will be heading to Brighton<\/strong> from 4-8 September 2014<\/strong>, joining one of the largest food festivals in the UK.<\/p>\n

Over the Spring Harvest (Easter) and Autumn Harvest (September) the Brighton and Hove Food and Drink<\/em> Festival<\/em> annually attracts around 160,000 consumers and 350 businesses, with a contribution of around \u00a34.1 million to the regional economy.<\/p>\n

In addition to free entry events including the Sussex & The World Market<\/em>, Live Food Show, Children’s Food Festival <\/em>and Brighton Beer Festival<\/em>, the festival organisation runs a host of evening ticketed events, tastings and tours featuring both local and world gastronomy.<\/p>\n

The festival has a substantial PR and marketing machine behind it and regularly features in national press including most recently BBC, the Daily Telegraph,<\/em> the Guardian<\/em>, the New York Post<\/em>\u00a0 but also regional media outlets and numerous websites and food blogs. As part of the partnership with the Sicilian festival Nivarata, Latest TV<\/em> will film the return leg of the exchange as part of the \u201cInternational\u00a0 Chef Exchange\u201d project, whose main objectives are to promote food tourism between regions and encourage international trade between food and drink producers. The new six-part television series is going to be shown across Britain, thus representing a great chance of tourist promotion for Acireale and the whole area surrounding Etna.<\/p>\n

Last June Seb Cole of Brighton\u2019s Boho Gelato<\/em> – acclaimed by the Sunday Telegraph<\/em> as one of the ten best ice cream shops in the UK – showcased some of his extraordinary creations during the Nivarata festival of artisan made granita. Now it\u2019s time for the Sicilian representatives to work with him again to get British people to try the real Sicilian granita.<\/p>\n

Among the big line-up of special night events run by the festival organisation, a highlight of this year is \u00a0A Taste of Sicily<\/strong>. <\/em>On the evening of Friday 5 September<\/strong> (7pm) a special event will be held to celebrate Sicilian flavours, culture and traditions by showcasing typical food and drink, alongside a selection of granita which will be made using imported Cattabriga granita machines.<\/p>\n

Added to this, over the 6-7 September weekend Nivarata will be showcasing the best of Sicilian quality produce within a dedicated \u201cLittle Sicily\u201d area set at the Sussex & The World Market<\/em><\/strong> on seafront Hove Lawns.<\/p>\n

For the Sicilian businesses which have chosen to join the project this represents a great opportunity to develop a network of international contacts and create export distribution channels in the UK.<\/p>\n

Added to this, refined biological produce such us jams from Perla dell\u2019Etna<\/em>, oil and jams from Casale Romano<\/em>, the unique Etna lemon juice and honey from Solmielato<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Alongside Sicilian food and drink producers, Nivarata will be joined by other local businesses focused on the tourism industry: Villa Sciare Mod\u00f2<\/em>, Etna Mareneve escursioni<\/em>, Tekn\u00e9 Italia<\/em>, Od\u00e8 arti sceniche<\/em> and Acireale Town Council.
