Antica Forneria Porzio - La Casetta Verde Bio
Porzio is the first fully certified organic bakery in Palermo and, by its own account, in Sicily, and it makes both the Palermitan red sfincione and the white bagherese one with organic ricotta and tuma. The family is named and the succession is documented: Salvatore Porzio founded the firm in 1960 in via Terrasanta, his daughter Rosaria, a biologist, took it on with her husband Antonio, and their son Francesco Coco runs it today and works in the laboratory himself. The grains are named - Timilia, Perciasacchi, Russello, Kamut and organic Sicilian durum - and lard and chemical additives have been removed, which is unusually specific for a Palermo forno.
