ARANCINI
mozzarella 'mozza bella' balls
Arancini are classic Sicilian rice balls with a rich history dating back to the 10th century, originally created as a portable snack for workers and travellers. Traditionally stuffed with meat, vegetables, or cheese, they combine creamy rice with a savoury filling, then are coated and fried to golden perfection. Perfect as an appetizer, party finger food, or a comforting main, arancini bring a taste of Italy to family dinners, festive gatherings, or casual get-togethers.
