Granita made from local Blood oranges, sugar syrup and a splash of Prosecco, just for fun!
The blood orange is a variety of orange with red, almost blood-coloured flesh. The distinctive dark flesh colour is created by the presence of a type of pigment called anthocyanins which although common to flora it’s quite uncommon in citrus fruits. Blood oranges have a fairly unique flavour compared to other oranges, being distinctly berry like as well as having the usual citrus flavours. During the times of the Nights of Malta, the Maltese Archipelago was world famous for the quality of its blood oranges.
Wild Thyme, Sagħtar or Za’atar is one of the most prolific herbs on the Maltese islands, it grows wild on the Garigue and the aromatic smell is wonderful. It has so many uses and blends so well with so many other indigenous ingredients. One of my absolute favourite flavours.
Of course, we understand the need to protect Wild Thyme and our local Garigue – with this in mind we use locally cultivated thyme.
