Bottega dei Sapori e dei Saperi della Legalità

Palermo


For edible souvenirs with a dollop of social consciousness, consider buying some wine, olive oil, pasta, couscous or marmalade – all grown on lands confiscated from the Mafia – at this unique store. It's run by the Libera Terra organisation, famous for its outspoken resistance to the Mafia's influence in Sicilian society.
