One of Sicily's oldest economic activities was trade, practiced in part through the use of oil and vinegar as natural preservatives.
The town of Cerda, which has always based much of its economy on the production and trade of artichokes, celebrates the artichoke for an entire weekend, around April 25. The artichoke is so important to the people of Cerda that they have a monument in the shape of an artichoke in the main square.
To this day it is still a family ritual to prepare seasonal vegetables and preserve them to have the flavors of summer available all year round. Artichokes, eggplant, zucchini, olives to be enjoyed all year round as an appetizer with a good wine, for fancy bruschettas, to season a focaccia or pizza.
