  The firm and rich slush of Palermo is the ancestor of the modern ice cream. Its creation dates back to the time of the domination of the Arabs, who introduced the recipe of the sherbet, an iced drink flavoured with fruit juices or flowers. They used the snow fallen on the mountains of the island, then gathered in natural caves. In the summer, the ice was scratched in crumbs and seasoned, then as now, with typical and natural seasonings.
