Toasted almonds from the L’Arcolaio social cooperative are organic Sicilian snacks recognized for their artisanal quality and award-winning flavor. Produced within the Syracuse prison’s laboratory, they are a core part of the “Dolci Evasioni” brand, which focuses on social rehabilitation and high-quality local ingredients.
