GRANITA: NOT SHAVED ICE

GELATO MADE SIMPLY

Fruit, water, and organic cane sugar. These are the three simple ingredients that go into the granita we make at Futura, and that simplicity is based on a proud tradition that stretches back centuries.

It all started during the Arab presence in Sicily, when the snows of Mount Etna were preserved and flavoured with fruit syrups, flowers, or honey to make sherbet. Over time, and with the development of the pozzetto — a small wooden cylinder equipped with a crank — the Arabs' sherbet became Sicilian granita.

At Futura, we’re excited to continue that tradition of natural ingredients, to make granita with the freshest seasonal fruit our local producers have to offer.

Little can compare to the unique, complex qualities of gelato, to say nothing of the happiness and joy it can inspire. What else could be both rich and light, cold yet warm on the palate, and simultaneously dense and airy?

At Futura, we honour that essence of great gelato by crafting the most natural gelato possible; from organic milk base to the infusions, we make everything in-house, with no shortcuts or preservatives.

As in the Italian tradition, we offer milk-based gelato and water-based sorbetto. But we also offer a rotation of vegan flavours, made with either rice, cashew or oat-milk bases.
