Terravecchia The Terravecchia family, producers of our Shelled Fava Beans, has been known in Sicily for various entrepreneurial activities since the 1950s, particularly for the production of chickpea flour, an essential ingredient in the famous Palermitan “panelle.” For thirty-five years now, in the new role of selectors, packagers, and distributors of dried legumes, they have represented a reality in the distribution landscape of Sicily, proudly carried on by a new generation of women, with the support and experience of family members. From the idea of selecting and re-evaluating the excellence of Sicilian agricultural production, which risked disappearing forever, the line “sun and taste of Sicily” was born: a selection that at the gastronomic level can represent this wonderful island to the world through its aromas, fragrances, and flavors.
