What the mignon arancino is
The arancino is a typical specialty of the Sicilian tradition: a breaded and fried rice ball. In the meat-sauce version, the core is enriched with a savoury ragù. The 25 g mignon format turns this street-food icon into a single-portion bite, perfect served hot as finger food, eaten in one mouthful and without cutlery. This makes it ideal for aperitifs and standing receptions.

Frozen storage -18 °C
The product must be kept frozen at a constant -18 °C throughout the cold chain. It is vital not to break the cold chain: any refreezing causes a serious deterioration of nutritional and organoleptic properties. When required, thawing must take place in the fridge at 0-4 °C and never at room temperature. Thanks to its small size, the mignon format allows fast, even regeneration straight from frozen.
